CROP Hunger Walk Sunday afternoon, April 19, 2015. Registration 1:30 p.m. Step off 2:30 p.m.
Preparations for the 4 mile Chapel Hill/Carrboro CROP Hunger Walk are taking shape for this spring. Routes
for 2 mile and 1 mile walks are options as well. All routes begin and end at the Carrboro Town Commons.
Please make note of the date and plan to join our Mount Carmel team. The more walkers we have, the more
successful the event will be. Walkers ask church friends, neighbors and relatives to make donations to support
their participation. The money helps fund the efforts of the Inter Faith Council and Church World Service to
end hunger at home and around the world. T-shirts for sale for a modest price when signing up walkers.
MCBC CROP Walk Team Leaders: Barney Collins, Jennifer Jamerson, Vickie Burnett and Leona Whichard,
will be signing up walkers beginning March 22 before and after Sunday morning and Wednesday evening
church services. Virginia Taylor will assist with using the CROP Hunger Walk Internet portal for “CROP
Walking on the Web”.
