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.
