Central has a team participating in this year's Heart of America CROP Hunger Walk. The 3.5 mile walk (optional 1.1 mile walk) will take place on Sunday, October 6 at 2:00pm (registration at 1:00pm) and will begin and end at Country Club Christian Church. Every year, 25% of funds raised stay in the local community.

When it began in 1947, 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, the CROP Hunger Walk is a nationwide movement with continued sponsorship by Church World Service to raise funds to end hunger and poverty in the U.S. and around the world.

Visit the Kansas City Crop Hunger Walk Event website to sign up, and make sure to register as a member of the Central Presbyterian Church team. If you cannot participate in this event, you may still make a donation through the event website.
