The dances are created for all ages and abilities; if you can walk, you can participate in these circle dances with live interfaith music. Do one or all of the dances in a one hours set. Bring your pledges, or sponsor someone who is dancing. Click Here
About the Name: When CROP began in 1947 (under the wing of Church World Service, which was founded in 1946), CROP was an acronym for the Christian Rural Overseas Program. Its primary mission was to help Midwest farm families to share their grain with hungry neighbors in post-World War II Europe and Asia. Today, we’ve outgrown the acronym but we retain it as the historic name of the program. CROP Hunger Walks are interfaith hunger education and fundraising events sponsored by Church World Service and organized by CWS local offices across the U.S.
