a hunger fighter

Each fall our church takes part in the Crop Walk for Hunger. The walk will begin at Memorial Stadium taking you on a route through uptown/downtown Charlotte to Johnson C. Smith University then back to Memorial Stadium.Our goal this year is to have at least 60 walkers.
| Sixty people from Trinity joined the Charlotte Crop Walk last October. Over $4,400.00 was collected for World Hunger! Prior to the walk, the Outreach Committee served a "Soup and Sandwich" lunch and cleared $257.00 to divide between the Food Bank and Trinity's Family Life Center Fund. |
Local funds go to Crisis Assistance Ministry, Loaves & Fishes and Second Harvest Food Bank.

| BEFORE YOU WALK: | Get sponsors! Relatives, friends, neighbors, school and business associates - anyone who will agree to pay any amount for your walking.

Please collect money as it is pledged. |

| ON OCTOBER 16th: | WALK! This is a viable witness to the entire community that you care
about hungry people. Please bring a can of food for Loaves & Fishes. Remember: No Recreational Wheels! No Pets! |
| AFTER THE WALK: | Collect the pledges not received before the walk. The sooner you collect them, the easier it is! When you have collected all your pledges, return the envelope (money inside) to your recruiter. If you have no recruiter, turn the envelope in to the CROPWALK office. |
| QUESTIONS: | Call your recruiter or the CWS/Charlotte CROPWALK office at 333-WALK. Office located at: St. John's Baptist Church, 300 Hawthorne Lane. |
