Crop Hunger Walk

The local 2020 CROP walk will be held virtually as we seek to raise funds for the hungry both in Onondaga County and throughout the world. Last year the Syracuse Area walk raised almost $18,000 to fight hunger, 25% of which remained in Onondaga County to support such ministries and agencies as St. Joseph’s food pantry, Immaculate Heart of Mary’s pantry, Christ the King’s pantry, three Meals on Wheels organizations, the Samaritan Center, In My Father’s Kitchen and a few more. Our goal is to encourage local parishes to participate in the walk either by walking in your neighborhoods or joining with family and friends in a walk at one of the lovely parks in our county. 

People have been walking in CROP walks across the country for more than 50 years. In 2019 more than 800 walks raised over 7 million dollars and included more than 100,000 participants.
