Biggest fundraiser of year for the Soup Kitchen

The Merle State Hunger Walk is Sunday from 2 – 4 p.m. starting at Memorial United Methodist Church, 201 N. Main Street, and ending at Daily Bread Ministries at 521 E. Poinsett. That route will be closed to traffic until after the walk.

Registration is 1:30 p.m. at Memorial United Methodist Church.

T-shirts and hot dog plates will be available for donations.
