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.

Six-year-old Wyatt and four-year-old Abigail with their mother, Katy Bradshaw, were real troopers, walking over two miles.

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.

Nancy Allen works at the registration people. The people behind her rocked instead of walked.
The dog appears to be setting the pace for Al and Denise Rabenold and their daughter, Marie Boulton.
