Walkers To Raise Funds for Hunger Relief in 14th Crop Walk

2005-09-15 / News

Money will be raised for hungry people in Mackinac County and across the world at the 14th Annual Crop Walk at St. Ignace Sunday, September 18. Walkers will gather at St. Ignace United Methodist Church at 1 p.m. and return to the church for refreshments following the walk.

Those who wish to participate may call Mary Lou Krause of St. Ignace for a sponsorship packet, or may contact any local church. Walkers take pledges for Church World Service through the event, which raises money for food banks.

“The money goes to feed people in countries who need it, and 25 percent of the money raised will be returned to the community through the St. Ignace Food Pantry,” said Mrs. Krause, an organizer of the event.

More than $4,000 was raised by walkers last year.

Along the route, a driver will be available for transportation for anyone who does not wish to complete the full four miles of the route.
