2007 State College CROP Walk Sets Record

The 2007 State College CROP Walk set a new record for giving! The walk, which raises funds for both Church World Service for international relief, and the State College Food Bank, this year received contributions totaling $22,700. This is an increase of 49% over the 2006 results. The State College Food Bank received $5,675 of the total amount. This year there were 217 walkers.

Where does the money go?

CROP Hunger Walks help fight hunger and poverty around the world, including the United States. 25% of our total each year goes to the State College Food Bank. All the rest of last year's total of $28,348 was sent to Church World Service or other international hunger-fighting agencies for the use of their workers stationed all around the world. We have no overhead expenses. We don't give out t shirts or prizes to walkers, and our simple refreshments are all donated.

Donors may designate their gifts to other approved international hunger-fighting agencies including but not limited to those listed below. This option, a major difference between CROP Hunger Walks and any other events, is available for individual donors only. Donors who wish to designate should write the identification of the agency on the envelope in the designated column.
