Crop Hunger Walk
About the CROP Hunger Walk
On October 13th, we’ll be walking in the Barrington Area CROP Hunger Walk to help fight hunger locally and globally. Supporting the global mission of Church World Service, a faith-based organization transforming communities around the globe, we’ll walk to raise money to fight hunger, poverty, displacement and disaster — with 25% of the funds raised being returned to our own community. Please consider joining us by walking with us on October 13th @ 1:00 or by making a donation. The Mission Committee and Youth Committee will have a table set up in Fellowship Hall to learn more or you can join the team / donate on our CropWalk page: https://events.crophungerwalk.org/cropwalks/team/presbyterian-church-of-barrington-2 Questions?
