| Each year
more than a quarter million CROPWALKERS put their hearts and soles
in motion to help stop hunger, one step at a time, in some 2,000
locally-organized CROP WALKS and other community events.
The two and a half million walkers
and sponsors who take part each year represent a vivid slice of
Americana. Pastors and poets. Teenagers and toolmakers. Politicians
and priests. Rabbis and retirees. Athletes and actors.
Mathematicians and musicians. Kids and kitbuilders. Soldiers and
sojourners. Carpenters and clowns.
We come from churches, synagogues,
and mosques. Businesses. Industries. Schools. Neighborhoods. Service
clubs. We walk as part of our faith commitment -- and part of our
community involvement. And, we're out to get some exercise, too.
- Supporting long-term development
in more than 80 countries
- Assisting in disasters and
famines
- Helping meet the special needs of
refugees
- Sharing more than $3,000,000
annually to support local hunger fighting efforts across the
U.S.
- Getting some exercise, too!

For
the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor
perish
forever.
