CROP Hunger Walks help children and families worldwide -- and right here in the U.S. -- to have food for today, while building for a better tomorrow. Each year some two million CROP Walkers, volunteers, and sponsors put their hearts and soles in motion, raising over $16 million per year to help end hunger and poverty around the world -- as well as here in our backyard of San Francisco. Come and be a part of this walk to end hunger on October 18!

The 2009 San Francisco CROP Walk, our 30th year, will benefit the San Francisco Interfaith Council Winter Shelter Program, which is supported in part by the San Francisco Food Bank; as well as Church World Service, the sponsoring organization that provides a broad range of poverty fighting projects around the world. 

Bring $10 on the day of the walk for a t-shirt!

For more information or to join the walk team, contact Marc Jung, Walk Coordinator, at 510-848-7024, or via email, or Marilyn Saner at 414-265-3809, or via email.

Sign up as an individual or group through your recruiter or online. You can also register the day of the walk too!
