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 $941,639. This year will exceed a total of one million dollars!
Our goal for
2009 is to help hungry people by raising $72,000 with 700 walkers from
25 churches and organizations. Congregations
from Naperville and nearby communities that do not have CROP Walks
are invited to participate.
