CROP Hunger Walk - Communities Responding to Poverity

I have walked in the CROP Hunger Walk in our area for many years and now serve on the planning committee with 6 other wonderful people from several different religions. We all donate our time and efforts in raising money to help respond to poverity. I really enjoy participating in this world wide service as 25% of all monies raised stay in your local community.

Because of the CROP Hunger Walk donations have helped organizations in our community such as: Helping Hands Mission, Christmas Council, Women's Shelter and local Food Kitchens. It's a great opportunity to join together and "Bear One Another's Burden's".

This year the Mini-Cassia CROP Hunger Walk is scheduled for September 24, 2011 at 10:15 a.m. at Riverview Park next to the Chamber of Commerce Building on the beautiful Snake River. A light luncheon is provided for all walkers. Please bring your friends and neighbors and donate to this worthy cause.

What are CROP Hunger Walks?

They are community-wide events sponsored by Church World Service and organized by local congregations to raise funds to end hunger at home and around the world.

Why do people join CROP Hunger Walks?

Story highlights of just a few of the two million CROP Walkers, volunteers, and sponsors that put their hearts and soles in motion to help end hunger and poverty around the world.

What can we do?

Church World Service works with partners to eradicate hunger and poverty and to promote peace and justice around the world. Together we reach out to neighbors in need near and far--not with a hand out, but a hand up. So, if you’re looking to help build a better world—a world where there’s enough for all—you’ve come to the right place!

Around the world, Church World Service supports sustainable grassroots development, disaster relief, and refugee assistance, and we educate and advocate on hunger-related issues. In the U.S., we help communities respond to disasters, resettle refugees, promote fair national and international policies, and provide educational resources.

We invite you to join our network of local and global caring through participation in CROP Hunger Walks, the Blankets+ program, and the CWS Kits program.


If you want to change the world, you're in the right place. Get involved by advocating for change, joining a CROP Hunger Walk, holding a Blankets+ event or an alternative holiday fair, or cosponsoring a refugee.

Contributions to Church World Service support sustainable self-help development, meet emergency needs, aid refugees, and help address the root causes of poverty and powerlessness.

My favorite scripture is found in the Book of Mormon, Mosiah 2:17 "And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in teh srvice of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God."

Please donate to this worthwhile cause! Find a CROP Hunger Walk Near You!

If your area doesn't have a CROP Hunger Walk you can donate to my team "Rupert Idaho West Stake" in the Mini-Cassia area. Help me reach my goal!
