Crop Hunger Walk
2023-03-25 08:30 - 10:30
Women’s 2 mile walk or 5k fun run. Meet at Howard Amon Park – Gazebo behind the Community Center.
The Crop Project began in 1947 when farmers were asked to donate food and seed crops to our hungry neighbors in post-World War II Europe and Asia. The first CROP Hunger Walks took place in Bismarck, North Dakota (1969), and York, Pennsylvania (1970). Since then, CROP Hunger Walk events have been held in hundreds of communities, large and small, raising millions of dollars to eradicate hunger and poverty.
No registration fee. Donations to the Crop Hunger cause are appreciated.
