Batesville, In. — The Ripley County CROP Hunger Walk to be held on October 7, 2018.
The Ripley County CROP Hunger Walk joins communities across the United States to help end hunger one step at a time, both around the corner and around the globe. CROP Hunger Walks support the international relief and development work of Church World Service. Additionally, the Ripley County CROP Hunger Walk will support the efforts of local food pantries to eradicate hunger in our community.
Local congregations and some 1,000 other communities nationwide are joining together in interfaith CROP Hunger Walks around the theme “Ending hunger one step at a time.” Participants walk in solidarity with the millions of neighbors around the world who have to walk to live, as well as with the millions served by local food pantries, food banks and meal sites. CROP Hunger Walks make a big difference worldwide, including ensuring that more children reach their 5th birthday, teaching sustainable ways to grow food and providing additional sources of food and income to families facing extreme challenges. We hope that you will join us in helping to end hunger!
The 2018 CROP Hunger Walk will take place at St. Peter’s United Church of Christ (Finks) Osgood, Indiana. Registration starts at 1 pm, and step-off is at 1:30.
