Chicago CROP Hunger Walk

About Chicago CROP Hunger Walk

Our 43rd Annual Walk is set for Sunday, October 19, since the need is as much as ever. We will again have a Family Fun Fest from 12:00 to 1:30 with inside and outside options. Kick-off ceremony starts at 1:30. Then 5K Walk through Pilsen or 1M option through Medical District.

We share 25% of funds for local hunger and poverty relief with these four local grant partners:
• Episcopal Diocese of Chicago Hunger Committee (city-wide)
• A Just Harvest (north side)
• St. Thomas Feeding Ministry (south side)
• Hope's Table Chicago (downtown)
The remaining 75% goes to national and global relief with Church World Service.

In memory of Fran Horn, beloved Chicago CROP Hunger Walk Planning Committee and Episcopal Hunger Committee Member for 20+ years on behalf of St. James Episcopal Cathedral, we dedicate our 2025 Walk to her never-ending faith, dedication, and spirit. Join her team c/o St. James.

We thank our on-going site sponsor First Immanuel Lutheran Church for hosting us again since 2019 in a central location with wonderful facilities!

Our Team Leaders Rally is Saturday, Sept. 6 from 10:30-11:30 in person or online with Google Meet. Receive Walk details and materials and be inspired to "walk the Walk". One-on-one or group sessions are also available according to your preferred location, timing and method.

See our Lou Malnati's Chicago deep-dish pizza fundraiser to support our Walk on our website.

It is the belief in our shared humanity that drives us to join in partnership with Church World Service to transform communities through just and sustainable solutions to hunger, poverty, displacement, and disaster.
