WHO: Jericho Road Ministries, Inc., in conjunction with a diverse group of religious, nonprofit organizations, schools, and municipalities throughout the state of New Jersey, is coordinating a multi-city, 1 Mile Walk on Saturday, September 18, 2010. WAMFAC is proud to have the explicit support of Mayor Cory A. Booker and Deputy Mayor Margarita Muniz of Newark, Mayor Garrett Smith of Roselle, Mayor Robert L. Bowser of East Orange, and Mayor Wayne Smith of Irvington.

This statewide event has a goal to reach thousands of families and provide food relief in each of the participating cities. Participating New Jersey cities include Newark, Roselle, East Orange, Elizabeth, Jersey City, and Irvington.

WAMFAC is a collaborative effort to benefit some of our New Jersey children living below the poverty level. The walks will commence simultaneously in each of the participating cities and will culminate with the distribution of food and other supplies provided by the Feed The Children organization at designated sites. Each participating walker is asked to donate a $30.00 registration fee to cover all related costs.
