This is the 60th year of CROP events in the US. Some 2,000 communities across the country participate in CROP Hunger Walks each year, raising funds for local hunger-fighting agencies as well as for the international relief and development efforts of Church World Service and other global hunger-fighting agencies. Millions of people around the world walk for water, for food, to get to school and to get to jobs - We Walk Because They Walk.

Help us exceed our goals

450 Walkers x $112 = $50,000

Last year we raised over $43,000 with 339-walkers and were the top money-raising CROP Walk in the Rocky Mountain region

Where the Donations Go

Community Food Share

(24%) CFS distributes food to those in need in Boulder and Broomfield Counties through over 80 Member human service agencies and several direct distribution programs. In 2006, CFS distributed over 3.4 million meals and has a goal to distribute 3.9 million meals in 2007. For every dollar donated, Community Food Share can distribute four meals.

Last year CFS received over $10,000 from the Boulder County Crop Walk, allowing them to distribute over 40,000 meals!

Church World Service

(75%) Church World Service is the relief, development and refugee assistance ministry of 35 Protestant, Orthodox and Anglican denominations in the United States. Working in partnership with indigenous organizations in more than 80 countries, CWS works worldwide to meet human needs and foster self-reliance for all whose way is hard.

Within the United States, Church World Service assists communities in responding to disasters, resettles refugees, promotes fair national and international policies, provides educational resources, and offers opportunities to join a people-to-people network of local and global caring through participation in CROP Hunger Walks, the Tools & Blankets Program, and the CWS Kits Program.
