How do CROP Hunger Walk funds help locally?

Each "CROP" event committee selects local organizations serving the hunger needs of the local community to receive 25% of the money raised through the walk. The 2010 Lodi CROP Hunger Walk recipients will be the Harbor of Hope and the Community Service Center.

How do CROP Hunger Walk funds help globally?

75% of the funds aid in the work of Church World Service to:

  • Support sustainable self-help development projects - digging wells, providing tools and seeds, rebuilding homes, teaching trade skills through micro-enterprise loans;
  • Meet emergency needs, such as for survivors of the Central Valley freeze, floods, fires, and other natural and man-made disasters;
  • Aid refugees - providing hope for those from the Balkans, Afghanistan, Iran, Burma, Somalia, Sudan, Ukraine, Russia, Laos and Vietnam and other countries - resettling them in the U.S. through our regional affiliate offices;
  • Address the root causes of poverty and powerlessness
  • Designations may be made by sponsors to other humanitarian agencies on envelope and on request.
