CHICAGO CROP HUNGER WALK
LOCAL HUNGER AGENCY GRANT RECIPIENTS
Where do the Chicago CROP Hunger Walk funds go?
CROP Hunger Walks help to support the overall ministry of Church World Service to alleviate and stem hunger around the world and around the corner.
CWS distributes 75% of gross funds to the grassroots, hunger-fighting development efforts of worldwide ecumenical 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 65 years (founded in 1946) of working in partnership around the world.
Besides the 75% of the gross funds going to CWS, the 2011 Chicago CROP Hunger Walk returned the remaining 25% it raised to the following local hunger-fighting programs:
