2026 CROP Hunger Walk

No one in this world should be hungry. That's why the CROP Hunger Walk is more than just a gathering of people in a place. We're part of a movement, taking steps and raising funds together to provide meals for those in our own community who need them - and supporting programs that create greater food security in communities all around the world.

• A stop at the Bayview Crossing Community Gardens.
• The joy of walking together in solidarity with those who must walk to have food and water as we celebrate helping local and global neighbors have nutritious food to eat, clean water, and sanitation.
