CROP stands for Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty, and our Walk engages a broad cross-section of the community in service to the neediest of the world. It is an interfaith, community-oriented event that (1) raises funds to help hungry people, (2) raises awareness of hunger as an issue, (3) engages and trains volunteers for community service, and (4) brings together persons of many ages and backgrounds in a common endeavor.

The CROP Hunger Walk raises funds for hunger programs in our area and around the world. The Northern Berkshire CROP Hunger Walk will distribute a quarter of the funds raised to local food pantries and meal sites. The remainder of the funds support Church World Service and other designated international agencies and their relief and development programs

Donations to Church World Service for the CROP Hunger Walk are tax-deductible. Church World Service is a cooperative ministry of 35 Protestant, Orthodox, and Anglican denominations, providing self-help and development, disaster relief, and refugee assistance in some 80 countries.
