Welcome to the 6th annual “Will Hike for Food” hike/food drive! This event, organized by NobodyHikesInLA.com in collaboration with WalkingPasadena.com and WeekendSherpa.com, will help people enjoy nature, get exercise, meet other hikers, and give back to those less fortunate. Hikers are requested to bring non-perishable food items to donate to Friends In Deed in Pasadena (friendsindeedpas.org).

In the past, Will Hike for Food events have been scheduled on Black Friday to tie in with the #OptOutside movement. This time, we will be hiking on Saturday, November 27 at 9am, to allow those who have to work on Black Friday the opportunity to join us. Of course, if you have Friday off, you should #OptOutside anyways – and since the Saturday after Thanksgiving is Small Business Saturday, if you decide to reward yourself with a post-hike burger, beer or kale salad, feel free to patronize your favorite local small business!

We will meet at the trail head of the Cherry Canyon Trail in La Canada (approximate address: 4168 Hampstead Rd., La Canada) at 9am. Expected route will be about 3 miles with some moderate climbing.

Be careful, and be respectful of others and of your surroundings.

Walking Pasadena is proud to team up with Nobody Hikes in L.A. for the 4th annual Will Hike for Food/Opt Outside hike and food drive, Saturday, November 30. Hikers are requested to bring non-perishable food items to donate to Friends in Deed Pasadena. The hike will take place at Cherry Canyon Park in Glendale. Approximate distance will be 3 miles with some moderate climbing. Parking is free (carpooling encouraged) and leashed dogs are welcome. Hope you can join us!

This year, in a new twist, the food drive hike will be taking place on BOTH coasts – NHLA founder David Lockeretz will be leading a food drive hike at Minute Man National Historic Park at 12 noon Eastern standard time, concurrent with the west coast hike. This hike will start at the Minute Man National Historic Park visitor center at 250 Great Rd., Lincoln, MA. Donations will go to the Greater Boston Food Bank.

No matter which coast you find yourself on this Thanksgiving weekend, join us to get some exercise, meet some people and give back to the community!
