Palisades Area CROP Hunger Walk -- helping end hunger one step at a time
Looking to make a difference in our local community and in communities worldwide, the Palisades Area CROP Hunger Walk has set a goal of 50 Walkers and hopes to raise $3,000 to help end hunger and poverty through long-term sustainable approaches to significantly reduce or eliminate hunger. The walk is open to all members of our community - young and old, all faiths and walks of life for a common goal - to end hunger, one step at a time!
This year members of the Palisades area communities 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." We walk in solidarity with the millions of neighbors around the world who must walk to live -- as well as with the millions served by local food pantries, food banks and meal sites here in the U.S. These local ministries share in the funds raised by CROP Hunger
Walks.
CROP Hunger Walks support the international relief and development work of Church World Service. From combating droughts in Nicaragua to providing agricultural training in Indonesia to stocking shelves in hundreds of food pantries across the United States, CROP Hunger Walks are fighting hunger.
A portion of the funds raised here in the Palisades communities will go to Worthwhile Wear in Plumsteadville, PA. Worthwhile Wear is a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to reaching lives affected by human trafficking and restoring these survivors with a sense of belonging and worth. The road to healing requires a comprehensive response. It's not enough to offer a single solution, which is why Worthwhile Wear first engages survivors where they are, in our communities, then offers long-term stability, and finally provides them with opportunities for financial independence. This wraparound approach is how Worthwhile Wear offers the most comprehensive services to survivors of trafficking in the state of Pennsylvania.
The 2024 CROP Hunger Walk will take place on Sunday, October 13th at 1:00 pm at St Peter’s Lutheran Church in Riegelsville, PA. Registration starts at 1:00 pm. and step-off is at 1:30 pm. The route will go south along the Delaware Canal to Trauger’s Farm in Kintnersvillle and back.
