CHOW Fight Hunger Walk By Eric Ravens On a particularly lovely (and hot) Sunday in September--the 17th to be precise--I had the opportunity to participate in the Binghamton CHOW Hunger Walk. CHOW is an organization that works to provide food to those in need throughout Broome County, and this walk not only served to raise awareness of the prevalence of hunger in our community, but also raised money to purchase food for those suffering of hunger. CHOW could actually purchase $7 worth of food or provide four additional meals for every dollar donated, which is awesome because every little bit really could (and did) count. The walk itself was run very well, and all attendees walked together around the Brain socializing and integrating all while raising awareness for such an important cause. The CHOW Hunger Walk was certainly a worthwhile experience both in regards to helping to make a difference in the community and meeting others with the same types of philanthropic beliefs!
