CROPWalk: 11:15am (in between worship and your pie!). A hyper-local walk to Olive's Neighborhood Garden for the Hungry to kick-off our fundraising for the national annual walk. This is a community-based walk fundraising event held in cities and towns across the United States, with a mission to transform communities around the globe through just and sustainable responses to hunger, poverty, displacement and disaster. It was created to support the global mission of Church World Service, a faith-based organization. After a CROP Hunger Walk ends, 25% of the funds raised is returned to the host community to support local hunger-fighting efforts. Eden and friends have been walking in the Chicago CROPWalk for more than 15 years. Visit our Jefferson Park Friends in Faith Team Page to donate before 11/30 (or donate on 10/5!).
