Fulton County CROP Hunger Walk will take place this year on Sunday, October 3, at 2 p.m. at Cowans Gap State Park.

Last year, walkers raised more than $2,000 in the local CROP Walk. Looking to make a difference in these trying times, the Fulton County CROP Hunger Walk has set a goal to raise $5,000 to help stop hunger and poverty here in our community and around the world, through selfhelp initiatives. A portion of the funds raised here in Fulton County will go to the Fulton County Food Basket

This year Fulton County along with some 2,000 cities and towns nationwide is joining together in interfaith community CROP Hunger Walks around the theme “Ending hunger one step at a time.” Many of the CROP walkers will be wearing T-shirts, proclaiming their solidarity with the millions of neighbors around the world who have to walk to live – as well as with the millions served by local food pantries, food banks, and meal sites here in the U.S. These local ministries share in the funds raised by CROP Hunger Walks.

Haiti is one part of the world where CROP Hunger Walks are making a big difference. In the aftermath of the killer earthquake, Church World Service was there with much-needed emergency assistance.
