Fallbrook High students prepare for food pantry walk

FALLBROOK – The annual November 5K Run/Walk to Feed the Hungry to benefit the Fallbrook Food Pantry is coming very soon and Fallbrook High students will certainly be present.

On Saturday, Nov. 10 at 9 a.m. at the Fallbrook Food Pantry, members of the cross-country team, ASB, Fallbrook Wrestling Team and numerous other individuals and groups from Fallbrook will be walking or running.

The students would love to see a great turnout by the entire community in support of the Fallbrook Food Pantry. FHS is determined to make this the biggest turnout yet.

The students cannot wait to conquer the 5 kilometer walk while raising funds and awareness for hunger both local and worldwide. ASB member Kayla Hoang said, "I'm excited to support our community and raise funds for the Fallbrook Food Pantry."

As the day approaches, you can contact the Food Pantry at (760) 728-7608 or visit http://www.fallbrookfoodpantry.org/Thanksgiving Hunger Walk.

This event is open to the public and participants can print off a donation form/registration and bring it to the pantry at 1042 South Mission Road on the day of the event. They should allow plenty of time for parking and registration prior to the start time.

Casey Burgas, an Associated Student Body member, said, "I've done the walk before and it was a lot of fun while supporting a good cause." Organizers say one simple donation can make it possible for a needy family to have a Thanksgiving dinner to celebrate and enjoy.
