Penntown, IN —Ripley County churches have partnered with Church World Services for the past 32 years to bring the Crop Hunger Walk to Ripley County, and this year they will continue that tradition even in the midst of this pandemic because hunger does not go away just because of a pandemic. The 33rd Ripley County Crop Hunger Walk will take place this year on October 4 at St. John’s UCC, Penntown. Registration will begin at 1:30 pm with the walk taking place at 2 pm.
Registration tables will be placed outside weather permitting. Organizers ask that only one person representing each group or organization register everyone in their group. Masks are required inside the buildings for registration if needed due to weather, and when using restrooms.
Participants may either join the walk on Oct. 4 at St. John’s Penntown walking either the “Golden Mile” or the 10k walk or you may want to do a virtual walk, where you walk on your own in a place of your choosing.
Registration packets will be available for a local church or organization’s representative to pick up and distribute to those interested in walking on August 25 from 6:30-7:30 pm at the St. John’s UCC Penntown church hall. If you are unable to pick up a packet at this time please contact Trisha Freyer, Chairperson, at [email protected] or on her cell phone 513-545-2670 to arrange a time to pick one up.
