KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Kalamazoo is gearing down to join communities across the United States to help end hunger one step at a time, both around the corner and around the globe through the CROP Hunger Walk.
The CROP Hunger Walk is an event to raise awareness and funds for people in need in global and local communities.
This year, the 48th annual Kalamazoo Valley CROP Hunger Walk will be held on Sunday April 24, at Bronson Park. Over the last 45 years, more than $1.52 million has been raised in Kalamazoo and thousands of local community members have joined the walk.
Organizers hope to raise $15,000.00 this year to help end hunger and poverty through long-term sustainable methods of growing food and providing additional sources of food and income to families facing extreme challenges.
CROP Hunger Walks support the international relief and development work of Church World Service with a portion of the funds going to support the efforts of Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes, Open Doors and YWCA Kalamazoo Domestic Assault Shelter.
