CROP Hunger Walks are community-based fundraising events to support the global mission of Church World Service (https://cwsglobal.org). Crop Walk supports hunger, poverty, displacement, and disaster and 25% of the funds raised will be returned to Ripley County Food Pantries.
The CROP project began in 1947 when farmers were asked to donate food and seed crops to our hungry neighbors in Post-WWII Europe and Asia. The first CROP took place in 1969 and since, has been held in hundreds of large and small communities, raising millions of dollars to eradicate hunger and poverty.
