Winston-Salem/Forsyth County CROP Hunger Walk

The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County CROP Hunger Walk Planning Committee is made up of members from various congregations throughout Forsyth County and representatives from each agency our walk benefits.

The largest fund-raising events for Church World Service are CROP Hunger Walks. The first CROP Hunger Walk was in 1969. Teens in Bismarck, ND and York County, PA decided it was time to do something for families who had to walk miles for food and clean water. Now more than 2,000 communities across the U.S. join in CROP Hunger Walks each year. A unique aspect of CROP Hunger Walks is that Church World Service doesn't receive all of the money raised. All of the money raised for the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County CROP Hunger Walk is used to support hunger alleviation programs. Money raised is split between three organizations. 75% goes to Church World Service and 25% stays in Forsyth County and is used by Crisis Control Ministry and Sunnyside Ministry to help our neighbors in need.
