The Outreach and Missions Committee of the Montezuma United Methodist Church sponsored a community CROP Walk on Sunday, Oct. 4. Purpose was to raise funds for Church World Service to reduce hunger, locally and worldwide.
Pledges and donations have resulted in $797.05 being raised so far, with additional donations being accepted until Oct. 15.
Twenty-five percent of the funds will go to the Montezuma Food Pantry. This is the third year the Outreach and Missions Committee has been in charge of the CROP Walk. The theme is “Ending hunger, one step at a time.”
The walk was held at Diamond Lake Park, with the Foster Center being the registration center and starting point for the 20 walkers. A total of 27 persons participated in various ways including those who refueled those who walked or rocked.
Anyone still wishing to donate is asked to contact Becky Sinkler, Crop Walk chairperson, or Nancy Allen, treasurer.
