This Saturday, the CROP Walk to help end hunger one step at a time will be held in Whiting at the Community Reformed Church on 36 Lacey Road. This year’s ‘End Hunger’ goal is $4,600. 25% of the funds raised areis returned to the host community to support local hunger fighting efforts. 

CROP Hunger Walks are community-based walk fundraising events created to support the global mission of Church World Service, a faith-based organization transforming communities around the globe through sustainable responses to hunger, poverty, displacement and disasters.

 The project began in 1947 when farmers donated food and seed crops to Europe and Asia. The first walk was in Bismarck, North Dakota (1969), then York, Pennsylvania (1970).  The CWS provides aid such as emergency food along with the seeds, tools and other programs that help families feed themselves.
