The Stewartstown Area CROP Hunger Walk will be held on Sunday, Oct. 20, with goals of 35 walkers, five teams, and $3,500 collected. The event aims to help end hunger and poverty, and all funds raised will go toward long-term sustainable approaches to significantly reduce or eliminate hunger. A portion of the funds raised at the Stewartstown walk will go to the food pantry of Mason-Dixon Community Services in Delta. Last year, 39 walkers raised $3,267 through the CROP Hunger Walk.
Stewartstown Presbyterian Church, 14 College Ave., Stewartstown, will mark the starting point for the CROP Hunger Walk, with registration at 1 p.m. There will be a choice of three route distances, starting at just under a mile. Additionally, snack-packing events will take place just before and after the walk. This hands-on project will provide Mason-Dixon Ministries with readily available snacks for clients it serves.
The Stewartstown Area CROP Hunger Walk committee is seeking teams of walkers and sponsors of cash or in-kind donations. Readers may contact judygrove@verizon.net or 717-741-4366 for more information, to register a team of walkers, or to inquire about sponsorship opportunities.
