About the 2008 CROP WALK
This year’s CROP Walk raised almost $8,500 to support both global and local efforts to combat hunger. Held on September 29, almost 150 people from 20 different faith communities or organizations gathered to walk on the Lakewalk as a symbol of solidarity with people around the world who live in the shadow of hunger.
Many thanks to all who participated in and helped to organize the walk.
Special thanks goes out to Paul Steklenski of Gloria Dei who raised $1,385 as an individual. His commitment to ask his friends, neighbors, and acquaintances to take a stand against hunger is truly an inspiration.
Coordinated by Church World Service on behalf of itself and many interfaith partners, the CROP Walk also benefits agencies in the Twin Ports. Twenty-five percent of the proceeds will be distributed between:
On a global level, proceeds support Church World Service and their efforts to address hunger around the world. For more information on the CROP Walk and how Church World Service partners in an ecumenical, interfaith, and multicultural effort to end hunger, click here.
