The 40th annual Wake Forest CROP Hunger Walk will be held the afternoon of Sunday, Sept. 22, along North Main Street and other nearby streets.
It will be either a 5K walk or a shorter 1.5-mile walk, both on sidewalks in the Wake Forest Historic District. Walkers will raise money for nourishing food and clean water for families around the world and for food and other resources for families in the Wake Forest area. Walkers are asked to bring nonperishable food and school supplies for local distribution.
Sign-in and pre-walk activities begin at 1:30 p.m. Sunday at the Wake Forest Historical Museum, 414 North Main Street. Step-off will be at 2:30 p.m. and the walk will end where it began, at the museum.
Walk participants are asked to invite family members, friends, employers and others to support their efforts with money contributions before the walk, and walkers may donate money on the day of the walk. Checks should be made out to CWS/CROP or CROP Hunger Walk.
Church World Service (www.cwsglobal.org) will distribute the money raised for fresh food and clean water projects in more than 30 countries. Also, 25 percent of the money raised locally will help support the Tri-Area Ministry Food Pantry (www.triareaministry.com) and Wake Forest Hope House Inc. (www.hopehousewf.org).
