Where the money goes
All funds raised by the Midlands CROP Walk go to support hunger-fighting efforts around the world.
Three-quarters of the funds go to support the national and international hunger-fighting work of Church World Service, an inter-denominational organization with a long history of supporting emergency relief work and development efforts. The remaining 25 percent of the funds go to support Midlands organizations in their hunger-fighting work.
For the 2007 walk, the following agencies will be participating, with funds designated to them proportionate to the number of individuals served by each program in 2006: Harvest Hope Food Bank Emergency Pantry services and Lexington Interfaith Community Services (LICS).
In its 28 years, the Midlands CROP WALK Against Hunger has raised more than $730,000, with a quarter remaining in the Midlands with local hunger-fighting agencies.
