San Francisco & Peninsula CROP Hunger Walk

Join your neighbors and bring your family and friends on Sunday, October 8th for San Francisco and Peninsula's 5th annual CROP Hunger Walk, sponsored by community and interfaith efforts. With its inception in 1969, the national Church World Service's CROP Hunger Walks are viewed by many as the granddaddy of charity walks. The Peninsula CROP Hunger Walk is one of 1,000+ walks across the nation, symbolizing the walk many around the world must make for basic resources such as food, water, shelter and protection. With our combined national efforts, we raise around $10 million annually towards the shared mission of ending hunger. Money raised supports work in emergency response and refugee relief, as well as longer-term solutions like enhancing food security and providing sustainable safe water supplies. In addition, 25 percent of funds raised stay in the our local area to bolster the local hunger-fighting efforts here through EHP, Ecumenical Hunger Program, in East Palo Alto. The last 4 local walks raised over $60,000.
