Register Now for the 2021 Hunger Walk
Monteagle-Sewanee Rotary Club’s 7th annual Hunger Walk is raising funds to combat food insecurity in Tennessee’s South Cumberland Plateau region. This year the Hunger Walk will be a hybrid event, beginning on Sept. 18 with a week-long virtual walk and culminating on Sept. 25 with an in-person walk from Monteagle to Sewanee. Proceeds will benefit local organizations which help our neighbors in need, such as the Community Action Committee (St. Mark and St. Paul), Grundy County Food Bank, Morton Memorial Feeding Ministry, and other potential organizations.

As a note, Givebutter has a setting on its donation page that requests tips. You should feel no obligation to pay a tip when making your donation.
