CROP Walk

Sunday Oct. 13, 2 p.m. - 4 p.m.

We hope you will support this year’s CROP Walk in whatever way works for you. You have four options: walk on 10/13 (choice of 2 locations; see below), support an individual who is walking, support all our walkers, or walk on another day by yourself.

You also have two choices for a walk.

1. The short Westerville/Northside walk will begin at 2 pm, meeting at the shelter house at Hoff Woods Park (off McCorkle Blvd. across the street from Westerville’s main post office).
2. The downtown walk will begin at Scioto Audubon Metro Park (400 W Whittier St, near Olentangy River and near where Red, White and Boom fireworks happen). An Impact Fair at 1 pm will offer more about WARM, as well as other local agencies. You can also enjoy great learning activities for families, a photo booth, etc. The longer Walk Send-Off is at 2 pm. With picnic pavilions nearby, you can bring lunch and make a day of it.
   

Whether you walk or not, a financial donation to CROP would be very helpful. Make checks payable to First Presbyterian Church of Westerville and indicate CROP on the check.

CROP continues to fight against the challenges of disease, disaster, displacement, war, famine, and other concerns that leave people hungry. Join with us as we raise funds to help neighbors near and far get the meals they need today and sustainable food security assistance for developing their own future food sources.

About 25% of the money raised by Westerville churches stays locally with WARM to further its community mission in the Westerville area. Be sure to ask your friends to support you in your walk. The more money we raise, the more poor and hungry people we can help.

Our congregation has participated in every CROP Walk since 1985 (36 years), and we usually raise the most money of any participating Westerville church, between $3000 and $4000 each year. Nationally, CROP walks raise many millions of dollars annually.

We walk to remember and help those worldwide who walk daily to meet their basic food and water needs.

We walk to end hunger one person at a time, and we hope you can support us on October 13.

Thank you in advance for your participation. Dave Beeman (chairman), Bill Hitt, and Bob Place.
