End hunger one step at a time!
Sunday, October 1, 2017 at the new Crystal Lake Food Pantry, 42 East St., Crystal Lake Living Waters participates in the CROP Hunger Walk each fall. 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. 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 organization's website. |

Join the Team!
Consider setting aside the afternoon of October 1 to walk with us this year. You can choose your route: either 1 or 4 miles. Walk with your friends or soon-to-be friends by joining the Living Waters Team. We also will need volunteers at the start/end location to help with the walk. Want to blow up helium balloons or sign in friendly walkers at the registration table? Contact the church office to volunteer. To register or donate, click on the blue button: |

The Outreach Team also would like to find another member to join the planning team. Meet with other goodhearted people from our community to help make this year's (and next year's) walk a success. Contact the church office, and someone will get in touch with more information.
Last Year's Walk
On October 16, 2016, we met up at First Congregational Church in Crystal Lake to walk 1 or 4 miles to raise money for programs that serve the needy (25% of all the funds went to McHenry County PADS and local food pantries, and 75% went to international programs).
The walk raised $19,888--so close to our goal of $20,000! The share raised by Living Waters was $2,735. Thanks to all who walked and donated!
