CROP Hunger Walk funds assist all over the world in ending hunger through programs on food provision and development, clean water, vulnerable children, refugee programs and emergencies. The money we raise helps provide for immediate needs and helps makes sustainable changes for the long haul. For more information on who benefits, see our events page.

Church World Service is working with partners in the U.S. and around the world to build interfaith and intercultural coalitions to eradicate hunger and poverty and promote peace.
