Bobby Ellis Memorial Vigil to End Hunger

Candlelight walk and vigil

On Thanksgiving eve, 1969, 9-year-old Bobby Ellis died of hunger in his home in Louisville. This tragedy rocked the community. Leaders with differences in faith, politics, and neighborhood united to launch an anti-hunger movement. This annual walk and vigil, established in 2009, honors Bobby by continuing to raise awareness about hunger.

To remember Bobby and to honor the legacy of his life, our community gathers each year before Thanksgiving for a candlelight walk & vigil. This year, the event will begin at Byck Elementary, where Bobby attended school, and we will walk to the site where he lived (approx. 1/2 mile total walk).
