Walk for Parsippany Food Pantry

7/16/20, Please see the final updates below from my walk today to the food pantry, minus my wife, lol. She had "things to do." Anyway, I fulfilled my final goal and with that the fundraiser is completed. Thank you again to all of you who have donated. We were able to do some good during this period of uncertainty and that's awesome!

take care,

Bob


I have walked over 72 miles week ending 6/6.

This is the last week!

My wife and I will be walking to the Parsippany Food Pantry in Lake Hiawatha from our home in Rockaway Twp. on Thursday June 11th., which has been changed from the 12th.  Please help to get us to our goal. We're so close.

Thanks so much for the support!


My name is Bob Garcia. I’m a veteran business teacher with the Parsippany Troy Hills School District, husband of a fellow educator and father of two teenage sons. My family and I have been fortunate to continue to work during this lockdown, but we know there are so many people who have lost their jobs, their income, their livelihood and are struggling to put food on the table. So many of my own students and their families have been affected and I want to help.


Now more than ever, the Parsippany Food Pantry is in need of donations. My goal is to raise $2500 by June 20th so that the Parsippany Food Pantry can purchase their most needed supplies and provide our community members with support during these tough times.

I am asking for your financial support as I plan on walking at least 30 miles a week until Friday June 20th 2020. If I meet this goal, I would ask you to please consider a donation for this cause.With the use of my Fitbit, I will be able to show my progress on a regular basis.

I will personally be donating $1 for every mile walked as of Monday April 28th.
