Thank for your interest in supporting the Hiking for Hunger Project by donating to MANNA FoodBank. We hope you will join us in the Fight to End Hunger in Western North Carolina.

Together we raised over $31,800 for MANNA FoodBank while hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2021! Now its 2023 and we are looking to do it again – this time we will be hiking the Pacific Crest Trail.

This year, MANNA FoodBank is celebrating 40 years of serving WNC communities. In honor of this milestone and MANNA’s incredible service over the years, we are setting a lofty goal of raising $40,000 during our PCT thru hike! We’re counting on all of y’all to help us reach “40K for 40 Years,” which would help provide as many as 160,000 meals for folks facing food insecurity in WNC.

Fun fact: you can support us for every mile we complete on the PCT! Since our goal is to raise $40,000, and the trail is roughly 2,650 miles in length (just about), $15 = 1 mile; $30 = 2 miles; $60 = 4 miles; $75 = 5 miles; $105 = 7 miles; and so on… Consider making your gift in increments of $15 and “Fund-race” us to Canada!
