2010's WAMFAC™ (Walk-a-Mile For-a-Child) Project Initiative was a collaborative effort for the benefit of Feed The Children in addition to some of our New Jersey children living below the poverty level.

There are approximately 2,090,505 children living in New Jersey families of which 222,090 are poor living below the poverty level. The goal of WAMFAC™ Project Initiative 2010 was two-fold... (1) to heighten awareness regarding this society ill and (2) provide some relief to our young New Jersey neighbors.

Registration for the 2010 WAMFAC™ one mile walk officially closed on Saturday, July 31, 2010. We did not reach the minimum amount of registered walkers needed to feed 400 families with children in each participating municipality. 270 walkers were needed in each one of the six participating communities of Newark, Jersey City, East Orange, Elizabeth, Irvington, and Roselle, and we did not reach that number in any one of those townships.

Planning for this grassroots effort began one year ago, and we have been very successful in raising awareness about children living in poverty throughout the entire preparation process. A handful of walkers in each town will only serve to diminish the success of our awareness piece; and since we will not be able to provide food to the families with children living under the poverty level, we have decided to cancel the walk. We ask that you continue to pray for children living in poverty so that they are able to soar beyond their lack in a positive, healthy, and holistic way.
