Congrats, Central PA, for raising over $42,000 to care for the needy at the 2025 Mechanicsburg/West Shore CROP Hunger Walk!!!  Way to let your "feet" witness to your commitment to "BE THE GOOD" in our world!  Since the first Mechanicsburg CROP Walk in 1971, this walk has raised an impressive $727,740 to care for our needy local and global neighbors!

The 55th annual Mechanicsburg/West Shore 5K CROP Hunger Walk/Fun Run will take place on Sunday, October 18, 2026, 2PM (rain or shine) at Memorial Park in Mechanicsburg, PA.  Please register on this website and consider making a sacrificial gift on-line to help us reach our goal to raise $50,000 to feed the poor.
