CROP WALK, a community-based fundraising event for Church World Service, is a fun way to connect with people in our community to help fight world hunger.

This is an annual walk each fall that starts out on Schaumburg Road and winds around through the Spring Valley Nature reserve before returning to the starting point. The organizing group in our area is the Greater Woodfield Area Crop Walk, part of the Gateway CWS/CROP region. The walk last year took place on October 16th. 25% of all funds raised for the CROP WALK stay right in our area, benefiting the Prince of Peace Lutheran PADS shelter and the Kenneth Young Center, a community mental health and senior services organization.

The winter planning meeting for CROP WALK is Monday, February 13th at 730pm at Our Saviour’s United Methodist Church. At least one person from Holy Innocents will attend the meeting to find out more about this exciting event. More information will be posted here soon.
