All-Time Record Hike for Hunger in 2010 !


The sponsorship banner says it all ! We could not have done it without them !

This year's David Vaughan Investments Hike for Hunger to benefit South Side Mission raised $46,665 (and counting) for the Mission's programs that fight hunger in the Peoria-area.

- New Promise Center shelter for homeless women and their children, serving three meals 365 days a year.

- Lighthouse Diner soup kitchen serving the poor with a gourmet lunch five days a week.

- After-School tutoring and clubs with a light meal each day of the school year.

- Thanksgiving and Christmas Day meals for the elderly, shut-in, handicapped and the poor.

- Hot lunches each summer weekday for kids in our Day Camp and Camp Kearney programs.

We will serve more than 100,000 meals in 2010.

Thanks again to the 251 hikers who participated and our awesome sponsors.

God is good!
