2026 CROP Hunger Walk

Wake Forest CROP Hunger Walk Registration Is Open!

Join us for the Annual Wake Forest CROP Hunger Walk on Sunday, September 20 at the Wake Forest Birthplace Museum (414 N. Main Street, Wake Forest, NC 27587).

This year’s walk will raise funds to address the nutritional and developmental needs of our neighbors in Wake Forest and around the globe through the local hunger-fighting programs of Tri-Area Ministry, Hope House, Wake Forest Community Table, and the global hunger and development work of Church World Service.

Last year, walkers raised over $13,000 to fight food insecurity — and we hope to make an even bigger impact this year!

Participants can choose between a 3-mile walk or a 1-mile walk. The event will include music, refreshments, and activities for all ages, so bring your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers for this fun, family-friendly event.

Preparing for the Walk:
• Register and set up your team page online to avoid handling cash and checks.
• Set your fundraising goal and recruit walkers and sponsors.
• Attend the Team Captain Rally (date TBD).
• Make an initial donation to your team.
• Record a short video sharing why you walk and post it on social media. Be sure to tag the Wake Forest CROP Hunger Walk on Facebook.

Take photos and videos and share why you walk using #EndHungerNow and #WakeForestCROPHungerWalk.
