HUNGER WALK
Thanks to everyone who walked in, raised money for and donated toward the Hunger Walk. It was a huge success! Although we don't have final numbers, we're pretty sure we surpassed our goals both for walkers (100+ walking on behalf of Breakthrough) and for amount of money raised ($15,000+)!

OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO SUPPORT BREAKTHROUGH
(1) We're in need of reusable plastic plates and cutlery at the Men's Center; if you know of any source (like a restaurant or diner that's getting rid of plates) please get that information to Tim van Alstyne at so he can contact them about potential donations.
(2) "Home Court" is a Breakthrough event on Friday evenings from July 8th to August 12th. It's focused around a competitive 20-team youth basketball league, as well as free food for the community, art projects, music and fun activities. We're looking for coaches for some of the younger age divisions and for groups who would be interested in sponsoring one of the nights -- grilling and serving the food and helping to run some of the activities. If you're interested to help with this opportunity, please contact Rusty Funk at rfunk@breakthrough.org or 773.722.0179 ext. 221.
