CROP Hunger Walks are community-wide, interfaith events sponsored by Church World Service and organized by local congregations or groups to raise funds to end hunger at home and around the world.  With its inception in 1969, CROP Hunger Walks are "viewed by many as the granddaddy of charity walks," notes the Los Angeles Times (Oct. 26, 2009).

Currently, well over 2,000 communities across the U.S. join in more than 1,600 CROP Hunger Walks each year.  More than five million CROP Hunger Walkers have participated in more than 36,000 CROP Hunger Walks in the last two decades alone.

What is a CROP Walk?

What does CROP stand for?

When it began in 1947, CROP stood for the Christian Rural Overseas Program. Today the acronym has evolved into Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty.

Where will the Ken-Ton walk take place?

The walk will begin at Kenmore Presbyterian, continue down neighborhood streets, make stops at local Churches, and finish back at Kenmore Presbyterian. There is a short walk that is about a mile and a longer route which is about four miles. The map of the full route is available HERE and there will also be signs posted to direct walkers.

Where does the money go?

CROP Hunger Walks help to support the overall ministry of Church World Service, especially grassroots, hunger-fighting development efforts around the world. CROP Hunger Walks help to provide food and water, as well as resources 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 64 years of working in partnership around the world. Also, 25 percent of funds raised will go to local hunger-fighting programs, such as food banks, pantries, and community gardens.
