Bagpiper to lead Barrington area CROP walk
Bagpiper Terry Oldfield will once again be leading a throng of walkers at 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 16, in the Barrington area CROP Hunger Walk. Twenty-five percent of the funds raised from the walk are distributed to seven local agencies, including the FISH Food Pantry, Carpentersville, Grand Marshal of this year's walk. The rest of the money raised is used by Church World Service for disaster relief and hunger-related programs in the U.S. and around the world.
The walk is hosted by St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Barrington, but begins in downtown Barrington, with registration at 12:30 p.m. at St. Anne Catholic Community, 120 N. Ela Street, Barrington.
For additional information contact one of the event co-chairpersons, Christine Melone or Pam Jensen, at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, (847) 381-0596, eschoon@st-markschurch.org.
