There are many ways you can participate in the CROP Hunger Walk:
Register online and/or obtain a walker Donation Envelope from a participating team captain, or call or e-mail to sign up as an individual walker. Secure as many sponsors as possible by inviting sponsors online and/or contacting people for cash/check donations, listing each person and pledge on the form provided in your envelope. (See Registration for more details.) Then join the Walk on November 5 at Burke Presbyterian Church!
Invite and encourage your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers to walk with you. If you like, create a team online so that other people can join your team and invite online sponsors. Many people want to help and will appreciate the chance to participate.
If you are unable to walk, sponsor other people who are walking. You can also sponsor walkers online. Please be as generous as possible for this annual event for the hungry.
Though unable to walk, you can raise funds and “walk in spirit”. Sign up online and/or obtain a walker Donation Envelope and secure as many sponsors as possible.
We can always use more hands, feet, and energy to prepare for the Walk and on Walk Day. Contact Amy Stidham at stidham_a_crop@aol.com
Sponsorships are vital in covering the administrative costs of the event. Local businesses and organizations in the Burke/Springfield/Fairfax/Fairfax Station/Clifton area are asked to consider making a cash donation to help sponsor the Walk. As an official sponsor, you help underwrite the costs and obtain visible recognition.
. . . more than ever, to step up and help vulnerable neighbors wherever they may be!!
