Last weekend, Huyen Tran of Chelsea, along with Vanna Nguyen of Dorchester and Paige White of Lynn, volunteered at the East Boston Social Center to paint signs for Project Bread’s 2014 Walk for Hunger. The event is scheduled for May, and their painted signs will be among 300 total signs of encouragement displayed along the 20-mile walking route.
As members of Bunker Hill Community College’s Shockwaves Club, the three students saw sign painting as an enjoyable volunteer opportunity. The 46th annual Walk for Hunger is expected to draw more than 40,000 participants on Sunday, May 4, with organizers aiming to raise $3.5 million for hunger relief and prevention efforts. Those interested in participating can register now by visiting www.projectbread.org/Walk for more information.
