Escondido CROPwalk raises funds and awareness for those in poverty around the world.
June 10, CEP joined with congregations and groups in the annual Escondido CROP WALK. CROP WALKS are a way to have fun and raise funds to alleviate hunger at home and around the world. The two-mile walk began at the First United Methodist Church, with 200 people participating. The event, sponsored by Church World Services, was one of 1,800 CROP WALKS held in hundreds of communities each year. Twenty five per cent of the money raised went locally to Interfaith Community Sevices. Seventy five per cent to international relief agencies selected by each walker. Participants are anticipating next year’s CROP WALK and the oppotunity to care for the poor and “walk with the world.”
