End hunger one step at a time!
Sunday, September 30, 2018
Hosted by First Church, 236 W. Crystal Lake Ave., 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 CROP Walk Facebook page and website.

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.
