NEWS FROM THE CROP WALK

We had beautiful weather for our 70 walkers that participated in the CROP Hunger Walk on April 26th. So far we have raised $931 online and $2393 on the day of the walk. We are still receiving donations so the final count will be posted in May. If you took pictures and are willing to share with this blog please contact Pam.

Be thinking about how to make this event even better next year and remember those who are not as fortunate as we are.
