2010 CROP Walk

Please remember the GREATER WOODBURY CROP HUNGER WALK

May 2, 2010

Funds raised will support hunger relief around the world as well as in Woodbury and its surrounding communities. This year, as in the past, 25% of all money raised at the May 2, CROP (Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty) Walk will support the Greater Woodbury Cooperative Ministries food pantries.

Sign-up to be a walker or sponsor someone to walk for you. The 6 mile walk begins at 2 pm (registration 1:30 pm) from the United Methodist Church in Mantua, 201 Mantua Blvd., Mantua and ends at St. Stephens Lutheran Church

on Evergreen Ave. in Woodbury. All walkers are asked to bring a jar of peanut butter to the registration.

If 6 miles is too challenging…walk less. Vehicles will be available along the route to pick up those with protesting feet and knees. The walk is symbolic, ½ mile is as meaningful as 6. Water & free refreshments are available along the route and at the finish.
