25th Annual South DuPage CROP Hunger Walk

 

  • More than 800 million people in the world go hungry every day.
  • More than 1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water and more than 2 billion lack sanitation.
  • In the last 50 years, almost 400 million people worldwide have died from hunger and poor sanitation – that's three times the number of people killed in all wars fought in the 20th century.

How can you help? Join the South DuPage CROP Hunger Walk on its 25th anniversary! The South DuPage community have raised nearly $600,000 over the past 25 years through holding this annual CROP Hunger Walk, which helps to support the grassroots, hunger-fighting development efforts of Church World Service partner agencies in more than 80 countries. CROP Hunger Walks help to provide tools of hope that empower people to meet their own needs. 

Churches, schools, civic organizations and businesses participate in this CROP Hunger Walk each year. Check out the website to see how you could join in.
