This May, I am participating in the Hunger Walk, benefitting Emergency Food Network (EFN).

EFN is the central nonprofit food distributor for Pierce County, serving a network of more than 75 food pantries, meal sites, and shelters. In 2025, EFN saw a dramatic increase in community members seeking food assistance– their network supported more than 3 million visits, more than twice as many visits as they served in 2019.  To ensure that every neighbor can access the food they need to survive and thrive, EFN needs our help. 

Not only am I participating in the Hunger Walk, I am also raising additional funds to support EFN. Every dollar helps EFN distribute more than a million pounds of food each month, feeding neighbors in need all across the county. I volunteer regularly at EFN and witness the amazing work this organization does to serve our community.

Thank you for helping to ensure that no person goes hungry in Pierce County!
