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.
