To learn about hosting a Walk to Feed the Hungry in your local community, please email BGR’s Walks support team.

Each year between 2010 and 2019, Buddhist Global Relief held a “Walk to Feed the Hungry,” which became our main annual fundraising event. When Covid-19 set in, we had to suspend the walks and replace them with online events, but we are honored to announce the reintroduction of these these spiritually uplifting walks of compassion—each a beautiful, joyful event that solidifies the sense of spiritual friendship.

The Walks to Feed the Hungry offer a precious opportunity for Buddhists of diverse affiliations—and others who resonate with our mission—to join hands in a shared endeavor to tackle one of the most daunting challenges of our time: chronic hunger and malnutrition, a plight that afflicts 800 million people around the world. The walk also gives us the chance to meet fellow Buddhists who share the aspiration to alleviate suffering and help create a more compassionate world.

Will you consider organizing a Walk to Feed the Hungry in support of BGR and those whom we serve? We can provide guidelines and support for organizing a walk—please email BGR’s Walks support team to learn more. If holding a walk seems too massive a challenge, you can arrange for a more manageable event—like a one-day retreat or pooja—to generate funds to support BGR’s mission.

The Buddha said, “The gift of food is the gift of life.” By joining the walk, or supporting others on the walk, you’ll be giving the gift of life to people in need throughout the world.
