The Crop Walk helps raise funds and awareness for Church World Service (CWS) and Berks County's Helping Harvest Food Bank efforts to fight hunger.  As in year’s past, 75% of the money raised from this walk goes to support Church World Service’s mission to feed hungry people around the world by helping them develop self-sustaining methods of growing crops and raising livestock; 25% of the money raised will go to Helping Harvest, which provides food for those in need in Berks and Schuylkill Counties.

     The walk takes place at Gring's Mill.  Registration begins at 12:30pm; please meet with our group by 1:00pm; opening ceremonies are at 1:15pm; and the walk begins at 1:30pm.

     Walkers can choose to walk a 1, 3, or 5 mile loop on the Gring's Mill trail.  There is also the ability for people in wheelchairs to participate.
