End hunger one step at a time!

Hosted by Living Waters
Living Waters participates in the CROP Hunger Walk each fall. The 1- or 4-mile walk routes go through Crystal Lake neighborhoods and circles back to the host church. When you get back, you have the option to relax, have a snack, and chat with the other walkers. Walkers collect donations that are used to provide food, medical care, disaster relief, and self-help development for needy people throughout the world. A portion of funds from the McHenry County CROP Walk is used for hunger relief in our local community.
Thank you to all who participated in or supported the walk in 2019, the 50th anniversary of CROP Walks nationwide. Altogether, the walk raised $21,300, and donations to the Living Waters team totaled $2,285.
Walking also reminds us that the poor walk for food, for water, for firewood, to escape violence, to seek shelter, to farm their fields, to find employment, and to go to school. To learn more about CROP Walks, visit the CROP Walk Facebook page and website.

Leadership Day
In March of each year, Church World Service hosts a CROP Leadership Day at the Northern Illinois Food Bank. All of the CROP Walk committees from northern Illinois came together to learn what's new for the year and participate in roundtable discussions and networking sessions to learn more about conducting successful CROP Walks.
Living Waters is looking for 3 or 4 people to help plan the walk and organize a team of walkers. You're invited to join us at the leadership meeting, which includes lunch and a chance to work on a service project for local food pantries.

Want to help get ready for this fall? The 2010 walk will be hosted by Living Waters! The Outreach Team is always happy to add another member to the planning team. Meet with other goodhearted people from our community to help make next year's walk a success. Contact the church office, and someone will get in touch with more information.
Thank you to the walkers and donors. Thanks also to the volunteers at the start/end location who helped with the walk. They blew up helium balloons and signed in our walkers at the registration table.
