Through the season of Lent, join the virtual walk with Bishop Macholz and others throughout the synod while learning more about issues of hunger and what we can do to help.

How to participate:

  1. Make a commitment to walk at least 40 miles in the 40 days of Lent and donate $40 to ELCA World Hunger. You can walk in the great outdoors or just around your house as you develop this shared Lenten practice of walking and giving financially to the work of ending hunger.

  2. Share your progress on social media using these hashtags #UNYSWalkingToEndHunger #40days40miles40dollars #ELCAWorldHunger Be sure to watch for Bishop Macholz's messages as we walk through the season.

  3. When you reach 40 miles go HERE to register your accomplishment and make your donation. All monies collected will be given to ELCA World Hunger. You may also send a check to the UNYS Synod and make sure to make note that it is for ELCA World Hunger.
