Each year, Bowling Green area residents join the CROP Hunger Walk to raise funds to end hunger in their community and around the world.
On Oct. 23, at 1 p.m., in Bowling Green City Park, the walkers will raise money and awareness one step at a time. A quarter of the money raised will stay locally for Bowling Green Christian Food Pantry.
Walkers will meet in the Kiwanis Shelter. There will be pizza, live music and activities.
The CROP Hunger Walk is an interfaith event that builds community while also making a difference locally and globally. The walk is open to anyone.
The walk impacts individuals and families in more than 30 countries. In many developing nations, people walk as many as six miles a day to get food and water. One in nine people worldwide lack access to clean water and a healthy diet.
In walking as they walk, our steps take on meaning. We walk to be in solidarity with their struggle.
In the last 25 years, CROP Hunger Walks have raised more than $300 million to help people struggling to feed their families – both around the world and around the corner.
