Members of Salem United Methodist Church show their support for ending hunger as they prepare to walk in the Barrington Area CROP Hunger Walk.
The Barrington Area CROP Walk is in its 39th year. In that time, the fundraiser has raised more than $1 million to help feed the hungry and bring basic necessities to those in need.
While the walk’s main sponsor, Church World Service, brings charity to the global community, 25% of the funds raised stay local, which makes this fundraising event even more important.
This year’s walk takes place at 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 10, starting at Salem United Methodist Church, 115 W. Lincoln, Barrington. Registration is at 12:30 p.m.
Walkers are asked to get sponsors to raise funds for this worthwhile cause, and organizers are asking those who can’t make it that day to help by donating online at events.crophungerwalk.org/2021/event/barringtonil; click on “donate.”
