The 36th Annual Wake Forest CROP Hunger Walk is set for Sunday, November 15. Sign in at 2 p.m. and step off at 2:30 p.m. Now is the time for community organizations to register online to walk at www.cropwalkonline.org/wakeforestnc. Sign up and donate or make a donation to support a walker who has already registered.
The walk, which begins and ends at the Wake Forest Historical Museum, 414 North Main Street, is approximately 1.5 miles on sidewalks that include a view of beautiful historic homes and part of the seminary campus in Wake Forest. Anyone may participate. Volunteers will provide water.
Before and after the walk, visit the table where you can write notes of encouragement to members of the local households that receive one grocery bag filled with food once a month from Tri-Area Ministry. Visit another table to write Ministry to Military notes of encouragement to deployed soldiers. Bring along a camera to take “Helpie” photos of yourself and others in front of a pyramid of boxes and cans of food that will grow taller as you and other walkers and teams drop off the contributions.
We walk and donate food and money to help end hunger and poverty here in our community and around the world. One-fourth of the funds raised here and all the donated food will go to the Tri-Area Ministry Food Pantry located in Wake Forest. (For donations to Tri-Area through the year, send checks to P.O. Box
Join us by registering online, making your own donation, and then recruiting your sponsors to make donations on behalf of your efforts for Wake Forest CROP Hunger Walk 2015.
