How do I participate?

  1. Register today and encourage friends and family to join you. 100% of your registration is tax-deductible and provides meals to our neighbors.
  2. Set your fundraising goal and create your fundraising page using our easy templates. Ask your family, friends, and neighbors to contribute and help you reach your goal.
  3. Hike over the month of November. Set your personal Hike for Hunger Challenge using one of the examples we have provided or one of your own. Whether you hike 4 miles or 40 miles, you’ll be helping to raise awareness and funds for our COVID-19 Hunger Response Fund.
  4. Share your adventures on social media using #Hike4Hunger and tagging @AmherstSurvivalCenter. We’ll also be sharing your pictures and videos on our social media accounts throughout the month!

Registration is $25 and includes a Hike for Hunger t-shirt. There is no fundraising minimum, but those who fundraise will be eligible to earn prizes. This toolkit will guide you through the registration process. 

Can I win prizes?

Of course! (Everything is a little more fun with prizes!)
All registrants will receive a Hike for Hunger t-shirt, AND hikers are eligible to win awesome prizes based on participation and funds raised.

Can I hike with a team?

Absolutely! You can fundraise as a team, and you can hike together or apart. You’ll see there’s an option to join a team when you register.

I have a mobility limitation. Can I still participate?

Absolutely! Everyone can participate! Choose a challenge that is right for you, hiking, walking, or rolling trails or paths that work for you. You can find some suggestions for accessible trails here and here.
