Greater Lansing CROP Hunger Walk - Publicity Volunteer

About CROP Hunger Walk

CROP Hunger Walks are community-based fundraising walk events held in cities and towns across the United States raising funds to support the global mission of Church World Service. Church World Service is a faith-based humanitarian organization transforming communities around the globe through just and sustainable responses to hunger, poverty, displacement, and disaster. Twenty-five percent of the funds raised at the walk are returned to the host community to support local hunger fighting efforts! CROP Hunger Walks are organized by a local group of volunteers to raise funds to end hunger at home and around the world.

CROP Hunger Walk History

The Crop Project was organized in 1947 when farmers were asked to donate food and seed crops to our hungry neighbors in post-World War II Europe and Asia. This program soon became known as CROP. In 1969 in Bismarck, North Dakota, and in 1970 in York, Pennsylvania, the first walk events were organized to raise funds to support CROP. Since then, CROP Hunger Walk events have been held in hundreds of communities large and small raising millions of dollars to eradicate hunger and poverty.
