Sponsors needed for Thanksgiving Walk/Run to feed the hungry

It’s that time of year again. The shelves at the Fallbrook Food Pantry are looking pretty bare and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. It’s time for each of us to step forward to lend a helping hand to those in need in our community. The Fallbrook Food Pantry is looking for organizations and individuals who can help. Your donation of $250 will allow you to have your personal or business logo on the back of the event t-shirts, as well as helping to fill the shelves at the pantry.

Fallbrook’s seventh annual Thanksgiving Walk/Run will take place on Saturday, Nov. 17, beginning at 8:30 a.m. Participants will gather at the Food Pantry, 1042 S. Mission Road, to turn in sponsor sheets and collected donations and get “fired up for the fun run.” The route is the same as that used for the annual Crop Walk, along Main Avenue to the turn-around at the north end of Olive Avenue and back to the pantry.

Come one, come all! The food pantry needs everyone to be a part of this great effort: schools, business teams, athletic teams, youth groups, clubs, scouts, mamas and papas, babies and pets and grandparents. Don’t be left out - it’s too important! Sponsor forms can be picked up at several locations around town: churches, coffee shops, the Food Pantry, or by going to http://www.fallbrook foodpantry.org.

If you have questions, call me at (760) 728-5682 or the Fallbrook Food Pantry at (760) 728-7608.
