End hunger one step at a time! Sunday, September 26, 2021, 2-4 PM Hosted by Living Waters The 2021 walk raised over $24,000!
Living Waters participates in the CROP Hunger Walk each fall. The 2- and 4-mile walk routes go through Crystal Lake neighborhoods and circle back to the host church. 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 andwebsite.
Register and donate online. For more details, follow the walkon Facebook.
Special in 2021, the CROP Walk committee will give a limited edition McHenry County CROP Walk coin to walkers who raise $200 or more.
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? 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.
