For the past 36 years a group of Harry Chapin fans have been organizing a run against hunger upstate at Croton-on-Hudson. You can run or walk a 10k, 5k, or 1 mile route. Some of the WhyHunger staff will be there and a portion of the proceeds will go to us. A good excuse to start training at the gym!
Every year we get hundreds of order forms in the mail for our awesome Hungerthon gear. But before we can ship anything out we have to get the paper forms into our online system. That's where you come in! The plan is to do a little data entry, drink a couple daiquris, and have some fun.
