The Lewisburg United Methodist Church and other churches in the Lewisburg area will be walking to help fight hunger in our community and in the world on October 14, 2012.
The Crop Walk is a fundraiser to support the Lewisburg and Ronceverte Food Lockers. In addition, a significant percentage of the money raised will help alleviate hunger needs elsewhere in the US and in the world. The walk begins at 1:00 pm.
There is a short walk of one mile that is the loop around Church and Court Streets. The longer walk is 5k or 3.1 miles around Lewisburg. Participants are asked to do three things: pray, support financially, and walk. Registration packets can be obtained at the Lewisburg United Methodist Church office.

Rebecca: No one should know what it feels like to be starving. Good fundraiser...hope they fill the food lockers.
Rebecca, I have to agree with Anita - we live in America and everyone should be able to have food. Hope this fundraiser is well attended and able to collect many dollars.
Wishing the Leisburgh Church community much success in their efforts with the Walk to help reduce hunger in your community.

This certainly is a worthwhile cause with a great mission, and I agree no one should go hungry in our country or anywhere else. A
Food lockers need our full support at this time of the year. Many families need assistance.
Rebecca, the fall is great walking weather as is the approaching holidays for generosity.
