CROP Hunger Walks support local and global programs that work with communities for immediate and long-lasting solutions to hunger and poverty. 75% of the funds raised help our global neighbors, and the other 25% supports Second Harvest Heartland, which supplies food shelves and food sources in our local area.
CROP Hunger Walks are part of Church World Service, an organization with over seventy years of experience in disaster relief and sustainable development. Church World Service is a founding partner with ACT Alliance, a coalition of more than one hundred and thirty churches and church-based humanitarian organizations working together.
Please join us in the fight against hunger. The steps we take and funds we raise will make a difference in the lives of others
