The Wake Forest CROP Hunger Walk 2016 is set for Sunday, September 25, beginning and ending at the Wake Forest Historical Museum, 414 North Main Street, with sign-in at 2 p.m. and step-off at 2:30 p.m. The route is approximately 1.5 miles on flat sidewalks in beautiful historic Wake Forest. Volunteers will provide water for participants.
Area churches and organizations, clubs, businesses, families, and individuals are encouraged to register and either start a new team or join an existing team at www.crophungerwalk.org/wakeforestnc
Then make an online donation to help support the cause to “End hunger one step at a time.” Recruit friends and family members as sponsors for online tax-deductible donations in support of the team or individual walker.
The individual who raises the most money for the cause will win the traveling Golden Sneaker Challenge Award trophy, person’s name engraved, to display at work or in church for one year.
Donations in person may be given on September 25 with cash or by checks written to CROP Hunger Walk.
Bring non-perishable food to the 2 p.m. sign-in. Add it to the total collection for the Tri-Area Ministry food pantry. Take “Helpie” photos of yourself and others during the event.
Wake Forest and some 2,000 cities and towns nationwide join together in interfaith-community CROP Hunger Walks, following the theme “Ending hunger one step at a time.” Twenty-five percent of the funds raised here will go to Tri-Area Ministry food pantry in Wake Forest. Other funds will provide programs in the U.S. and around the world to end hunger and poverty and to provide disaster relief.
