Our Board of Outreach has set the date for this year’s walk for Sunday, October 2, 2022. The CROP Hunger Walk is a way of raising awareness and money in the fight against poverty and hunger. The walk began in 1947 making it one of the longest-running fund-raisers and is now an important part of Church World Service’s efforts around the world to ending hunger including right here in our own community as they donate 25% of the money a walk raises to the local food-shelf.
Please consider helping! You can help by signing up to walk. This year, as in the past several, we plan on walking the loop around Waterbury: We’ll head west on Main St, turn left on Winooski St, cross the river and head back east on the River Rd. At Rt 100 we’ll take another left and shortly after that, find ourselves back on Main Street, heading back to church. It’s a 3-mile walk.
