I have had the honor of working with the Food Bank of CNY since 2011. They have taught me the joy in service and the meaning of community. They are so appreciative of everyone's efforts and they are all truly committed to the fight against hunger. On behalf of the 58 student volunteers of Halloween for Hunger and the Hallowrun for Hunger 5K, it has been our privilege to support the Food Bank throughout our years in high school.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Westfall
Student Race Director
Hallowrun for Hunger
