There is the traditional long walk (now just a 5K), a short 1-mile walk, and a non-walking “Rock” option where participants “Rock” in rocking chairs. All three events serve to raise funds and awareness to help end hunger both globally and here in the Indian Valley. Photo CWS A Dominican mother shows off her sprouts at a CWS/CROP project. Why Hunger? Hunger is no longer an “over-there” issue. The number of people in our area who are hungry or food insecure is on the rise. Nationally, 1 in 6 Americans, face hunger every day. In Montgomery County alone more than 10% of the total population and almost 15% of children are food insecure. That’s over 26,000 hungry children in our communities. You can walk and raise funds either as an individual or as part of a team. Pick up a CROP Hunger Walk Registration Envelope at your local church, at the Keystone Opportunity Center or at the Generations Senior Center— or you can register for the Souderton PA Walk online at: www.CROPHungerWalk.org. Reserve a Rocking Chair Not able to walk, email Lisa Furbacher at Generations Senior Center to reserve your rocking chair for the Rock-a-thon: [email protected].

Business Sponsorships Helping The Hungry Here Over the last 35 years, the Indian Valley community has raised nearly $300,000 through the CROP Hunger Walk with just under $40,000 being granted back to help local residents directly through Generations of Indian Valley’s Meals on Wheels and the Keystone Opportunity Center’s Food Pantry. Over 300 families and individuals are served on a monthly basis by these much needed programs. For $150 your business will be listed on both the annual T-Shirt (given to every participant) and the online registration page. Fill out the form on the back of this flap. Sponsorship money will first go towards event costs with any additional funds being donated to the cause. Donate a Pantry Item Material goods like toilet paper, and shampoo as well as canned goods and non-perishable food items can be brought to Souderton Mennonite at 1pm the day of the event.
