Campagna Has Walked For Hunger Almost Three Decades

Nick Campagna has been walking to help others in need of food and water for almost 30 years. His dedication began in 1985, when Campagna, then age 42, was inspired because his homeless uncle was able to receive shelter and food from the Pine Street Inn. So when people at his church were signing up for Project Bread’s annual Walk for Hunger, he also signed up and thus, started a tradition.
For years he walked without a team, impressed by the work Project Bread was doing to provide meals for children and educate parents on how to prepare economically healthy food.

I also just wanted to tell you that it is such a pleasure to work with individuals who actually "do" their job. I know I included the text but I asked for you to incorporate it into our current ad. It was a simple two e-mail process and the ad is done! I cannot tell you how many different companies we have worked with it and has taken hours to get the final product that you give me. Again, I just wanted to say thank you!!!!
