Barrington Area CROP Hunger Walk is October 9
The Barrington Area CROP Hunger Walk is an annual community hunger education and fund-raising event sponsored by Church World Service.
This year plans are being made for the Walk to take place throughout the village of Barrington, beginning at St. Anne Catholic Community, 120 Ela St., Barrington on Sunday, Oct. 9. Registration begins at 12:30 p.m., and the Walk will begin at 1 p.m. An in-person Walk is being planned and safety precautions will be taken, as needed; individuals may also participate by walking on their own.
Due to inflation and other circumstances, the need for food and resources for our local agencies and around the world is still great. The Barrington Area CROP Hunger Walk ranked 28th in the country out of over 500 walks in 2021, raising over $40,000. We hope to exceed that amount this year.
Funds raised by the Walk benefits the overall work and ministry of Church World Service. And, it's important to note that 25 percent of funds raised stays in our area benefiting the Northern Illinois Food Bank, the FISH Food Pantry--Carpentersville, BACOA Meals With Wheels, Wauconda-Island Lake Food Pantry, United Partnership for a Better Community Summer Lunch Program in Wauconda, Project HOPE, and the People in Need (PIN) program of the Barrington Area Ministerial Association.
It's easy to sign up and donate to our Walk. Just go to the website: https://events.crophungerwalk.org/2022/event/barringtonil to register or donate.
