What is the CROP Hunger Walk?

• CROP stands for Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty.
• Watch a video about CROP Hunger Walk here.
• The Walk unites community members in walking together to take a stand against hunger in our world. Together we raise awareness and funds for international relief and development, as well as local hunger-fighting.

Past Success

• Since 1975 we have organized the annual Washtenaw County CROP Hunger Walk as an interfaith response to local and world hunger. Over the last 33 years walkers from some 50 area congregations and schools have raised more than one million dollars to assist both local and international agencies in relieving hunger and addressing its root causes
• In 2007, we raised a record-setting $70,000+ with over 600 walkers
• In 2008, we united community members from over 50 local congregations and organizations to walk together against hunger
• In 2009, we gathered over 400 lbs of food to donate to local families in need
