CROP Hunger Walks help to support the overall ministry of Church World Service, especially the grassroots,hunger-fighting development efforts of partner agencies in some 32 countries. CROP Hunger Walks help to provide tools of hope that empower people to meet their own needs. From seeds and tools, to wells and water systems, to technical training and micro-enterprise loans, the key is people working together to identify their own development priorities, their strengths and their needs — something CWS has learned through some 61 years of working in partnership around the world.

For more information on the services provided by Church World Service, please visit them online at www.cwsglobal.org.

In addition, each local CROP Hunger Walk can choose to return up to 25 percent of the funds it raises to local hunger-fighting programs. The Greater Greensboro CROP Hunger Walk uses this money to help fund Potter’s House Community Kitchen.
