Hike for Hunger 2026

Gesu’s 42nd Annual Hike for Hunger will take place on May 15. The Kick Off Assembly will begin at 1:00 PM in the Family Center. The students will then go for their Walk/Hike. Thank you to the PTO and Parent Volunteers who are helping on this day!


Gesu helps bridge the meal gap for many people. Stats show that 1 out of 6 people in NE Ohio do not know where their next meal is coming from. Did you know that Cleveland’s child poverty rate has been consistently among the highest of large U.S. cities.
Please help fight hunger and food insecurity by using the following link: https://gesu.com/hike.
Or visit the Gesu School website to click on the DONATION BUTTON.
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THIS PARISH AND SCHOOL WIDE SERVICE PROJECT!
