Walk to combat hunger is set for Nov. 11, starting at West Seaford Elementary The Western Sussex CROP Hunger Walk is Sunday, Nov. 11, beginning at 2 p.m. The 3.1- mile walk will start in the West Seaford Elementary School parking lot. Organized locally, the CROP (Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty) Walk raises funds to help stop hunger and poverty in the local community as well as around around the world through self-help initiatives. Twenty-five percent of the funds raised will go to food closets of participating communities, including the Seaford Community Food Closet at St. John’s United Methodist Church. This year, Western Sussex County and some 2,000 cities and towns nationwide are joining together in interfaith community CROP Hunger Walks. CROP Walks
continue to play a role in the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina. To participate in the walk as an individual or team, contact the Rev. Constance Hastings at St. John’s Church, 629-9466, or Eleanor Terrell at 628-1515. In addition to people who can take pledges and walk, help is needed to supply water and cookies for the walkers, take pledge money at the donation table and be available for clean up. People can bring pets to accompany them on the walk as long as they are carried or leashed. Children and youth are required to have adult supervision and parental permission in order to participate. In the event of rain, plans are being made to have the walk in a large, sheltered area.
