Local Hunger Agency Grants

CHICAGO CROP HUNGER WALK
 LOCAL HUNGER AGENCY GRANT RECIPRIENTS

Where do the Chicago CROP Hunger Walk funds go?
CROP Hunger Walks help to support the overall ministry of Church World Service, especially the grassroots, hunger-fighting development efforts of worldwide partner agencies. CROP Hunger Walks help to provide tools of hope that empower people to meet their own needs. From seeds and tools, to wells and water systems, to technical training and micro-enterprise loans, the key is people working together to identify their own development priorities, their strengths and their needs -- something CWS has learned through some 61 years of working in partnership around the world.

The 2009 Chicago CROP Hunger Walk will return 25 percent of the funds it raises to the following local hunger-fighting programs:
