Walk To Fight Hunger, Sunday Afternoon

On Sunday, October 7, residents of all ages are invited to join families and individuals who will be walking in the CROP Hunger Walk in support of the efforts of Church World Service to overcome hunger and poverty in the community and around the world.

The walk will begin at 2 pm, leaving from and returning to Newtown Youth Academy, at 4 Primrose Street. All are invited to walk to overcome hunger and poverty one step at a time by participating in the walk with your friends and neighbors.

Several Newtown churches are regularly represented in the event, raising awareness and funds to help children and families in need.

The outreach activity began in 1947.  To date, some two million CROP Walkers, volunteers and sponsors around the world have raised more than $16 million per year to help end hunger and poverty.
