Fundraiser Walk for the Ecumenical Community Food Pantry of Norwood on October 13
A fun 3-mile walk around Norwood benefiting the Ecumenical Community Food Pantry of Norwood is scheduled for Saturday, October 13. The entire community is invited to participate in this worthwhile event to help feed the hungry of Norwood. All pledge money raised by the walkers goes directly to the Norwood food pantry to help stock the pantry and meet holiday food needs. Walkers are also encouraged to bring a non-perishable item as a registration donation.
Sign up sponsors for your walk and take the challenge of walking, running or strolling along a 3-mile route around Norwood. Sponsor sheets have been distributed to select locations around town including houses of worship, the library and town hall and are available through the Grace Episcopal Church website www.gracenor.org (under the newsletter link) or by calling the church at 781-762-0959.
