Our 51st Anniversary Chris 2023 Director Tom Feagley. Tom managed supper and pantry programs for those in need, fi rst at St Paul’s Parish Supper Program in Malden, then for more than 30 years at Bread of Life as Executive Director. Tom ministered to those in need, expanded Bread of Life food programs beyond Malden to neighboring communities and worked to get funding to build a permanent home for all of Bread of Life’s programs. That dream is now being realized with the construction of Bread of Life’s new home at 54 Eastern Ave. in Malden. Tom dedicated his life to making the world a better place through spreading peace and adding color. He did this through his devotion to his extended family, to feeding the hungry and, for more than 50 years, to protesting against war, violence, racism and social injustice and advocating in support of peace, social justice, the homeless and anyone in need. The Walk will start across from Hunt’s Photo on Main Street at 12 p.m. The Walk route is on sidewalks through Melrose and Malden, ending at the Pine Banks Park pavilion. New this year: In honor of Tom’s love of ice cream, walkers will enjoy ice cream treats after the Walk. Walker registration is $25/ adult, children ages six to 17/$10, under age 6/free.
