29th Annual Greater Greensboro
CROP Hunger Walk

Sunday, October 18, 2009
NewBridge Bank Park

.
The Greater Greensboro CROP Hunger Walk is an annual 5k community walk that raises desperately needed funds to feed the hungry, not only in Greensboro, but all over the world.
.
We dedicated the 2008 walk in memory of our friend and colleague, Bill Glasgow (1926-2008). Bill cleverly enlisted and orchestrated the 5,000 participants to march in solidarity against hunger through downtown Greensboro, raising over $209,148.
.
Over $51,448 (or twenty-five percent) of the money raised went to Greensboro Urban Ministry's Potter's House Community Kitchen which provides a free meal to over 350 people every day. Seventy-five percent went to Church World Service, an international relief agency that provides emergency aid and supports sustainable self-help development.
.
Over the past 28 years, the Greensboro CROP Hunger Walk has raised a cumulative total of over $4 million with more than $957,000 going to Potter's House.
