The 37th annual Wake Forest CROP Hunger Walk will be held the afternoon of Sunday, Sept. 25, at the Wake Forest Historical Museum, 414 North Main Street.
Marilyn Bonnett and all the other volunteers are asking for strong support from the Wake Forest community for this event that raises money to fight hunger here and abroad. Twenty-five percent of the funds raised will benefit the Tri-Area Ministry Food Pantry on East Holding Avenue.
Walkers are asked to sign in beginning at 2 p.m., and the 1.5-mile walk on sidewalks through a shaded and historical section of town will end where it began, at the museum, which will be open for visitors. Walkers and volunteers are asked to bring non-perishable food to donate to the Tri-Area food pantry.
To register and donate online, go to www.crophungerwalk.org/wakeforestnc. If you have questions, you can call Maggie Andersen at 919-605-7463.
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.” Seventy-five percent of the money raised locally goes to programs in the U.S. and around the world to end hunger and poverty and to provide disaster relief.
