CROP Walks represent individuals, organizations, and congregations of various faiths joining together to walk and raise funds to fight hunger and poverty, as well as provide disaster relief at home and abroad. 25% of the funds raised by the CROP Walkers remains in the Vista area to support Operation HOPE, Vista’s temporary winter shelter for homeless families. The rest of the funds benefit the programs of CWS, providing tools of hope that empower people to meet their own needs at home and abroad.
