BREWSTER Walking in honor of his late brother, Brewster resident Steve Leibowitz will be looking for plenty of pep-in-his-step as he participates in the 53rd annual Project Bread Walk for Hunger on May 2, with the lofty of goal of 20 miles at this year s fundraiser.
Along with younger brother Peter, the duo will participate as Howard s Heroes, in honor of their late brother, Howard, a staunch advocate for increased food access for people and families in need. As an employee of the City of Boston, under Mayor Flynn, and later Mayor Menino, he really pushed for, not just improved access, but he also was a big proponent for healthy food options as well, said Steve Leibowitz, citing his brother s push for reimbursement programs at local farmers market s through the first food policy committee, which created the Bounty Bucks program, as well as initiation of larger programs such as the Mass. Food Trust and Boston Public Market.
