CROP Hunger Walk

What does CROP mean?

	Communities
	Responding to
	Overcome
	Poverty

CROP Hunger Walks are neighbors from different faiths, cultures, and ages, walking together to take a stand against hunger in our world.  Together we raise awareness and funds for international relief and development , as well as local hunger-fighting agencies.  Some 2,000 communities across the country take part each  year.

Where does the money go?  CROP Hunger Walks help fight hunger and poverty around the world, including the United States.  Up to 25% of what is raised can assist food banks, pantries, community gardens and other local hunger-fighting initiatives.

What's the point of walking?  Hungry people in developing countries typically walk as much as six miles a day to get food, water and fuel, and to take their goods to market.  We walk to be in solidarity with their struggle for existence.  We walk because they walk!
