The annual Stafford County CROP Walk is coming, Sunday 27. CROP Walks are one way we can help to overcome hunger and poverty in our world. In fact, that’s what CROP stands for – Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty.
Walkers will meet at Trinity Community Church, in Hudson, at 2:00 p.m., and walk to Sandhill Hollow, where they will be treated to a hot dog feed, provided by the Hudson Senior Citizens.
Please make an effort to walk in this worthwhile cause. If you can’t walk, please sponsor someone who is walking. Proceeds will go to help fight hunger, in our local communities, in the United States, and throughout the world. County food banks receive a portion of the monies collected form the walk.
Over 854 million people around the world remain hungry – about equal to the population of the western hemisphere. Every day more than 16,000 children die from hunger – related causes – about one child every five seconds. Hungry people in developing countries
typically walk as much a six miles a day to get food, water, and fuel, and to take their goods to market. We walk to be in solidarity with their struggle for existence. We walk because they walk.
Many area churches, organizations, and individuals, in Stafford County, participate in this worthwhile cause. If anyone would like to join the Stafford County walk for CROP, please call, (620)458-3953.
