About Arlington’s CROPWalk

CROPWalk/Arlington is a hunger relief effort sponsored by Church World Service to raise money to fight hunger at home and abroad. The 2007 CROPWalk was the most successful ever! The walk yielded $46,116 in contributions from 21 organizations and nearly 200 walkers. St. George’s is a regular contributor to CROPWalk, contributing $600 in 2005, $3,792 in 2006 and $2,355 in 2007.

Of the amount collected, 25% is returned directly to the Arlington Food Assistance Center, a food bank for indigent people in Arlington. In just one year, there has been a nearly 30% increase in families needing assistance.
