Join us for this year's virtual Phoenix CROPWalk! The very first fundraising walk in the nation, CROPWalks take place in cities and rural areas around the US every year. Nearly all CROPWalks are ecumenical events that bring together Christians of many traditions—all to raise funds and awareness of local and global hunger.
This year, 25% of raised funds will go to the HART Pantry in Peoria. HART stands for Helping At Risk Teens and provides weekend meals for teens who would otherwise struggle with food security while not in school. For more information, go to hartpantry.org. The other 75% of funds raised will be used for the hunger relief and clean water ministry of Church World Service, the nationwide organization that sponsors the CROPWalk.
Particularly because the walk is virtual this year, we encourage you to invite friends and family to join you for the walk and to raise funds for both the HART Pantry and Church World Service's global hunger relief efforts. While you are welcome to walk at any time, we invite you to walk on Sunday, November 1 at 2:00 pm for 1-3 miles. A virtual send-off will be made available on the Phoenix CROPWalk Facebook page at 2:00 pm that day. Imagine all of us walking throughout the Phoenix area on the same day and at the same time to care for our neighbors!
To register for the walk, go to crophungerwalk.org/phoenixaz and click "Register.” Once registered, you may invite and accept online donations through the CROPWalk website. If you have questions about the walk, technical challenges, or recipients of the funds raised, please contact Pastor Sarah at pastorsarah@graceinthecity.com or (602) 318-6876. If you would like to donate to one of the Grace walkers, you can find their profiles and make your donation at crophungerwalk.org/phoenixaz.
Together, we can help end hunger in our community and around the world.
