Over 100 students and community members joined in solidarity to participate in this year’s 7th annual 5K Walk for Plumpy’nut on Saturday, September 21st in Cass Park. From a generous combination of donor support, registration fees and raffle proceeds, IC Food for Thought raised $2145.36 to buy Plumpy’nut, a peanut-based therapeutic nutrition supplement, to aid malnourished children in Ethiopia.
Volunteer Engagement
As IC Food for Thought’s largest annual event, the Walk for Plumpy’nut relies on many helping hands. From course leaders to tablers, raffle coordinators to team captains and everyone in between, we are extremely grateful for the volunteers who were a tremendous asset in every phase this year’s walk. The 2013 Walk for Plumpy’nut would not have been possible if it were not for our enthusiastic and selfless volunteers!
Partnership with Concern Worldwide
For the past six years, Food for Thought has partnered with Concern Worldwide to distribute Plumpy’nut through the organization’s feeding centers throughout Ethiopia. To date, IC Food for Thought has been able to feed over 1,000 children through the provision of Plumpy’nut. This past year, we invited Concern Worldwide to talk and teach us about nutrition issues, feeding centers and the path of our donation money.
