Crop Walk to Take Place This Weekend in Londonderry

The event will take place on Sunday.

From Cathleen Stuart

Planning is underway for the second annual Greater Londonderry Crop Walk.  We join with 2000 other communities in walking to end hunger. The walk will be on Oct. 6 at 12:30 p.m. We hope your that club, scout troop, church or community organization will consider joining  us. 

Crop Walk is sponsored by Church World Service and that it raises money for projects around the world that address the problems of access to sufficient food and clean water.  25% of the money raised stays in the local community.  This year, the recipient of the local portion of the money is the food pantry operated by the Upper Room in Derry. They do good work on a shoestring and any help we can give them is so appreciated.

We'd like to invite members of the local community to join with St. Peter's and Londonderry United Methodist Church in an event that raises both funds and awareness.  The walk is a three mile route that begins and ends on Londonderry Common. Even on a less than beautiful day last year, this was a wonderful event. 

Your community can form a single team or different groups within your organization can form teams .  This is a particularly  good event for youth groups as the walk is entirely on sidewalks or trails.
