2024 CROP Hunger Walk

We invite you to join us for the Palisades Area CROP Hunger Walk, which helps to end hunger one step at a time. We will gather at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Riegelsville at 1:00 pm and then proceed down Delaware Road to the Delaware & Lehigh Trail Riegelsville trailhead. There will be waypoints at the Durham Aqueduct (1.25 mi.) and at Trauger's Farm on Island Rd in Kintnersville (2.3 mi.) With your help, we will raise funds for hunger programs in the Palisades area and around the world.

The CROP Walk is an interfaith, community-oriented event that (1) raises funds to help hungry people, (2) raises awareness of hunger as an issue, (3) engages and trains volunteers for community service, and (4) brings together persons of many ages and backgrounds in a common endeavor. The local CROP Hunger Walk is being sponsored by the Palisades Area Lutheran Ministries with the intention to engage a broad cross-section of the community in service to the neediest of the world.

75% of the funds supports the global work of Church World Service (CWS) to empower local communities. CWS is an international humanitarian organization, transforming communities around the globe through just and sustainable responses to hunger and poverty. displacement and disaster.

25% of the funds will be donated to Worthwhile Wear in Plumsteadville, which is a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to reaching lives affected by human trafficking and restoring these survivors with a sense of belonging and worth. The road to healing requires a comprehensive response. It's not enough to offer a single solution, which is why Worthwhile Wear first engages survivors where they are, in our communities, then offers long-term stability, and finally provides them with opportunities for financial independence. This wraparound approach is how Worthwhile Wear offers the most comprehensive services to survivors of trafficking in the state of Pennsylvania.

For students who choose to participate as part of a community service requirement, we will provide a certificate to them to ensure they receive the proper credit.

Our goal for this year is to raise $3,000 with walkers. We need your support!
Join with us as we raise funds to help neighbors near and far get the meals they need for today and sustainable food security for tomorrow!
