It’s all about raising awareness — and your heart rate, too.
The Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona is hosting its annual HungerWalk on Saturday, September 12, but like many events, this year’s walk will be slightly different.
In other words, the event is going virtual to keep things on the safer side.
Here’s how it works:
- Register online at communityfoodbank.org
- Recruit your friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers to join your team
- Set a fundraising goal
- On Saturday, September 12, take a walk alone or with your team
- Make it a challenging hike or a stroll around the neighborhood —it’s your choice
- Share photos or live video from your walk to the Community Food Bank’s Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter
- Prizes will be award in categories like Largest Team, Best Team Name, Most Dollars Raised, and more
You must register for the walk and it’s $25 for adults, $10 for children six to 11 years old, and anyone five years and younger can walk for free.
Your support goes directly to providing emergency groceries, hot meals, and so much more to families in need. The month of September is also Hunger Action Month and what better time to throw a HungerWalk and give back to members of the community that need it the most, right?

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
