2026 NYC Walk to Feed the Hungry in Astoria Park
Please note: The NYC Walk to Feed the Hungry has been canceled due to the predicted storm.
Dear Friends,
We have some sad news: the weather report for Saturday is not at all favorable for holding Buddhist Global Relief’s 2026 NYC Walk to Feed the Hungry on Saturday. We said we would walk “rain or shine,” but the rain and wind expected on Saturday will be much more than we imagined. A nor’easter storm system is forecast to hit the Tri-State area over the weekend, with 40 to 50 mph wind gusts starting Friday night through Saturday.
Everyone’s safety and well-being is most important to us. Therefore, after much deliberation, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Walk. We were very much looking forward to being with everyone and to finally have our beloved Walk in person after six years, the first since Covid hit the country. However, the weather deities have not been on our side.
We appreciate your understanding and are deeply grateful for your continued support of BGR and its projects in the US and around the world. Indeed, the work continues, with or without a storm. We hope you will follow our online programs and join next year’s Walk, preparations for which are already underway!
Please stay safe and be well wherever you are.
With metta and gratitude,
Buddhist Global Relief NYC Walk Team
