Appreciation goes to Carol Pelosi and The Wake Forest Gazette and to all the energetic team captains for helping to inform our community about the mission of the September 26 CROP Hunger Walk. Thank you to PDQ, Culver’s, and Papa Murphy’s restaurants for providing share nights to help raise funds for this year’s CROP Walk effort. Donations from the 15 teams and more than 115 walkers and their sponsors and from individual donors have raised over $20,000 to help end hunger in our own community and around the world.
Thank you to pastors and congregations in area churches, to community-service organizations, and to everyone who donated funds for this effort. Thank you to Roberta Macauley, Community Engagement Manager for Church World Service, for encouraging and guiding the event’s volunteer planners. Roberta has this to say about Church World Service: “We pride ourselves on hiring and training staff in local communities that understand the culture and languages of the people served and are vested in building systems that can be sustained long term.” Thank you to Coordinator Maggie Andersen for leading the volunteers to achieve another record-breaking successful event in Wake Forest.
Donations for “Ending Hunger, One Step at a Time,” are still welcome and important. To donate online, visit: https://events.crophungerwalk.org/2021/event/wakeforestnc
We are grateful to all who helped, walked, donated money, or sponsored a walker for CROP Hunger Walk 2021 in Wake Forest. Tri-Area Ministry’s food pantry and Hope House of Wake Forest will share in 25% of the event’s proceeds. CROP Hunger Walk, the original walking event in the USA, fights hunger in our own community and around the world.
