Raise Money. Fight Hunger.

The Walk for Hunger is a community effort to raise money for programs and solutions that help our neighbors access food with dignity.

The more we raise, the more good we do. Our goal for the 2025 Walk for Hunger is to raise $1 million to invest in work that helps neighbors access food with dignity. This will only be possible with your personal fundraising!

Here are step-by-step guides, resources, and tips to manage and promote your fundraiser and reach your goal!

What's Classy?

Managing Your Fundraising Page

You may have noticed your fundraising pages are powered by Classy. Put simply, Classy creates fundraising software for nonprofits. And Project Bread uses Classy to power the fundraising for The Walk for Hunger. 

When you see reference to your "Classy fundraising page" we mean your fundraising page for The Walk for Hunger. To manage your fundraiser, you are signing into Classy.

  • A personal fundraising page is created for each participant at registration.
  • A team fundraising page is created for teams, too.
    • Team fundraising pages can be managed by the captain.
    • People can donate directly to your team fundraiser, or to the personal fundraiser of someone on a team - all will show up on the team fundraising page to help reach your team goal.
