2026 CROP Hunger Walk

Join us on Sunday, November 8th for the 34th annual Burke CROP Hunger Walk.
Invite your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers to this fun, family-friendly fundraising event that supports the eradication of local and global hunger.

Where the Funds Go
Twenty-five percent of the funds raised will benefit our local hunger partners, Western Fairfax Christian Ministries and Ecumenical Community Helping Others (ECHO, Inc.) two organizations serving families in Fairfax County who are experiencing food insecurity. The remaining funds support the global mission of Church World Service, providing empowerment programs, tools, and training that promote long-term sustainability, access to nutritious food, and clean water.
