The 27th Annual Naperville Area CROP Walk

 

October 18, 2009

    26 years = $941,641 for

hungry families

 

   The Naperville Area CROP (Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty) Walk is an ecumenical and interfaith effort of nearly 25 Naperville area congregations and organizations to help hungry families in our community and around the world. The annual walk helps hungry families locally through the Loaves and Fishes food pantry in Naperville and the Northern Illinois Food Bank, a regional food distribution center, and helps hungry families around the world through Church World Service.  When natural disasters or war affects any part of our world, Church World Service responds with both short term and long term assistance.  In the last 26 years, the Naperville Area CROP Walk has raised $941,641

     Our goal for 2009 is to help hungry people by raising $76,000 with 700 walkers from 25 churches and organizations.  Congregations from Naperville and nearby communities that do not have CROP Walks are invited to participate. 
 

Walk on the Web,

a new way to participate

     You can help by walking with others from the Naperville area by seeking sponsors and you can click on the CROP Walk sign to the right and sign up on a team or start your own team.  Click on the box in the center to see if your congregation has a team on the web.  You can send e-mails to your friends who can then sign up and contribute or pledge through the Church World Service secure website.
