Families walk to end hunger

Church World Service—CROP Walk

The annual CROP Walk sponsored by Church World Service gives Parksiders the opportunity to raise funds toward stopping world hunger. Each year our congregation enthusiastically recruits walkers and pledges. Each year we rank in the top 10 of churches with the most walkers!

CROP Hunger Walks help to support the overall ministry of Church World Service, especially the grassroots, hunger-fighting development efforts of partner agencies in some 80 countries. CROP Hunger Walks help to provide tools of hope that empower people to meet their own needs. From seeds and tools, to wells and water systems, to technical training and micro-enterprise loans, the key is people working together to identify their own development priorities, their strengths and their needs—something CWS has learned through some 60 years of working in partnership around the world.

In addition, each local CROP Hunger Walk can choose to return up to 25 percent of the funds it raises to local hunger-fighting programs.

We walk because they walk
