What is a CROP Hunger Walk?  Neighbors walking together to take a stand against hunger in our world. Together we raise awareness and funds for international relief and development, as well as local hunger-fighting.  

The Fort Pierce CROP Walk is February 26th.  The walk will again be starting at St. Andrew's in Ft. Pierce.  Please save the date.  I hope you will be able to be on the church team this year.  Please see me if you would like to go ahead and get your donation envelope.

What does CROP stand for?

When CROP began in 1947 (under the wing of Church World Service, which was founded in 1946), CROP was an acronym for the Christian Rural Overseas Program.  Its primary mission was to help Midwest farm families to share their grain with hungry neighbors in post-World War II Europe and Asia.  In more recent years, it has stood for Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty.  Today, rather than thinking of CROP primarily as an acronym, we retain is as the historic name of the program. CROP Hunger Walks are interfaith hunger education and fundraising events sponsored by Church World Service and organized by CWS/CROP regional offices across the U.S.
