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”.
Wednesday Night Menu: Pizza, salad, beverage and dessert.
