WHAT IS THE CHARLOTTE CROP HUNGER WALK? Â The Charlotte CROP Hunger Walk takes place each Fall as a part of a nationwide endeavor to raise money to alleviate hunger and poverty in this country and overseas. The concept is simple: Ending hunger one step at a time. Since its first walk in 1978, Charlotte has raised over $6 million to relieve hunger, with $1.6 million staying in the community.
CROP Hunger Walks support the grass roots, poverty-fighting development efforts of Church World Service (CWS) in more than 50 countries, including the USA. CROP Hunger Walks provide tools of hope that empower people to meet their own survival needs. From seeds and tools, to wells and water systems, to technical training and microenterprise loans, the key is bringing people together to overcome poverty, which is the world's #1 cause of hunger.
