If your wondering what Crop Walk is all about, let us tell you a little bit about it. What are CROP Hunger Walks? Neighbors walking together to take a stand against hunger in our world. Different ages, faiths and backgrounds together we raise awareness and funds for international relief and development, as well as local hunger - fighting. Some 2,000 communities across the country take part each year. 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 we want to end hunger - one step at a time. Where does the money go? CROP Hunger walks help fight hunger and poverty locally and globally, with 25 percent of what a CROP Hunger walk raises assisting local food banks, pantries, community gardens, and other hunger - fighting initiatives. In the last 20 years, CROP Hunger Walks have raised more than $294 million to assist around the block and around the world those struggling to feed their families. What makes CROP Hunger Walks special? They are community - based and interfaith. They have an impact locally and globally. And Walk donors may designate their gifts to other approved international hunger - fighting agencies. No one else does that! |

What difference does it make?
Funds raised in a CROP Hunger Walk assist people in need around the
world. For example:
$72 can provide emergency food supplies for a family of five's needs for a
month.
$120 can enable three women to attend a literacy class for a year and
change their lives forever.
$200 can provide a struggling farm family with a draft animal to significantly
increase their food production, as well as a strong back to carry produce to
market.
$350 can enable the eldest in a child-headed household of AIDS orphans
to receive vocational training, so they can support their siblings and
themselves.
$1,050 can support community-based health, hygiene, and sanitation
training for an entire community.
