Local CROP Walk Taking More Walkers

The Sunday, Oct. 9 CROP Hunger Walk route begins and ends in Bush Park and is designed so that participants can walk all of it or smaller portions if they prefer. People of all ages participate, said Rayner, adding that it is fantastic to see youth groups, senior citizens, families and parents pushing strollers walking.

Registration for the Fenton/Lake Fenton/Linden/Holly CROP Hunger Walk begins at 1:30 p.m. The walk starts at 2 p.m.

All interested persons are welcome to register the day of the event as raising money beforehand is not a requirement. There is also no minimum pledge amount to collect. Participants can always collect donations after the event as money will be accepted in the days following, said Rayner.

The churches involved include Fenton First Presbyterian Church, Christ Scientist, Fenton United Methodist Church, Linden Presbyterian Church, Lake Fenton United Methodist Church, Linden United Methodist Church, Transfiguration Lutheran Church, Tyrone Community Presbyterian Church and St. Jude’s Episcopal Church.

Those who don’t wish to or who are unable to walk, but would still like to support the cause may make a donation during the CROP Walk or they can text CROP to 50555 to make a $10 donation.
