“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you
gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes
and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you
came to visit me.'” -- Matthew 25:35-36
CROP WALK Millions of people around the world walk
distances every day...
To get water for daily needs
To bring home food for their families
To find safe shelter in times of war or disaster
To find wood for fuel and fodder for livestock
To go to school
To farm distant fields
To take goods and produce to market
- To find medical care when illness strikes
The CROP Walk is October 12. We convene at the Presbyterian Church in Highland
Park at 1:00 p.m. The walk begins at 1:30 p.m. and typically lasts approximately
one hour.
Funds raised go to local agencies and to Church World Service to alleviate hunger
and poverty in 80 countries throughout the world. CROP is the community service
and fund-raising appeal for Church World Service, an organization of 36 denominations
united together to relieve poverty, aid in development, provide disaster relief
and refugee assistance worldwide.
