Mark Sunday, October 18th 1:45 p.m. on your calendars.
On that day, plan to join fellow advocates who wish to stop local and global hunger by walking the 22nd annual Bozeman CROP Walk.
The CROP Walk will start at the Gallatin County Food Bank, located on 602 Bond Street in Bozeman. The path for the walk will meander through city parks and neighborhoods. The distance walked is equivalent to the distance walked by many hungry people across the globe in search of food for themselves and their families. Imagine walking 10 kilometers every day in search of food.
The proceeds from the walk will be used locally and around the world to alleviate hunger.
Church World Service (CWS) is an ecumenical agency supported by many churches. The Gallatin County Food Bank, Headwaters Area Food Bank, Loaves and Fishes and the Belgrade Ministerial Association have been supported in the past by the area CROP Walk.
Last year’s CROP Walk raised $15,700. Our own Robert Nolan raised $271 through donations. Christ the King sponsored seven walkers last year. I bet we can recruit ten walkers this year.
The funds raised this year will be administered by Church World Service, but 25% will be used to support local hunger relief.
And our local agencies need the support and help! The Gallatin County Food Bank has seen an increase of 30% for food basket requests over last year.
If you are interested in walking on the 2009 Bozeman CROP Walk or making a donation, please contact me, Pastor Grant.
In the meantime, get in shape for the walk that does more than talk about hunger.
