Gallup
CROP Hunger Walk
Sunday, October 18 – November 30
Our annual Gallup CROP Hunger Walk to raise funds and awareness for local and global food insecurity, emergency disaster needs and support for development afterwards will look different this year. Instead of one Walk we encourage small groups of friends and family, business partners, faith communities, and individuals to Walk in your neighborhood as COVID-19 keeps us from gathering. The Gallup Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty Walks (CROP), which began in 1989, were Neighborhood Walks.
On Sunday, October 18 from Noon – 2:00 pm you are invited to come to The Community Pantry (1130 Hasler Valley Road), to pick up CROP donation envelopes, posters, information pamphlets, orange vests, and other CROP Hunger Walk materials for your Neighborhood Walks. Children’s Activity Sheets will also be available. Join us for music and refreshments! The Pantry is located at 1130 Hasler Valley Road (Miyamura Overpass and Montoya Blvd.). If you are unable to come on October 18 between Noon and 2 p.m. contact Betsy to make arrangements for an alternate date / time.
The need is great to raise funds for those who lack food security due to loss of income, fires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, devastating winds, earthquakes and explosions.
In addition, funds raised support our local Community Pantry and their various programs to assist the hungry and needy, reaching over 3,500 individuals in McKinley and Cibola Counties. COVID has stretched the Pantry’s resources and CROP is a way to help them continue to help others. One fourth of what is raised stays in Gallup to support their amazing outreach in our community.
Donations can be made also in person on Sunday, October 18, at the Pantry anytime between October 18 and December 1, or you can Walk the Web! Anytime to make a donation - www.crophungerwalk.org/gallupnm.
For more information or to Volunteer with Gallup’s Walk contact Hilda at The Community Pantry (505-726-8068) or betsywindisch@yahoo.com (505-721-9879 / 505-722-9257)
