The 2022 “CROPWalk for Hunger” starts at 2:30 p.m. on Oct. 16 — United Nations World Food Day.
This year’s theme is “Safer food, better health.” You and more than 100 other sponsored walkers will participate to raise funds for Church World Service (an international relief agency with very low administrative overhead)
This event has taken place every year since 1975 and has raised over $500K for this cause. In 2020 – for only the one year because of COVID – we switched to a car parade…but ordinarily we are walkers who embrace the theme “WE walk because THEY walk,” a reference to how people in Third World countries get around without cars and trucks.
When you sign up digitally for the walk you will receive all the information you need to join on Oct.16.
Please bring non-perishable food items on Walk Day to support the “Broken Loaf Food Pantry” at Lakewood First UMC.
Time: 2:30 p.m. (1:30 registration) Oct. 16
