Ada County Crop Hunger Walk

Sponsored by:Glenn McGeoch

Upload Event Logo

Crop Hunger Walks are community-based walk events held in cities and towns across the United States to raise funds for hunger relief. This year's Ada County Crop Hunger Walk will be held on Sunday, October 12 at the Agriculture Pavilion in Julia Davis Park (the shelter between the Bandshell and the Zoo on the greenbelt/river side). Registration starts at 2:30 pm and the walk starts at 3:00 pm. The walk is a 3-mile loop, beginning on the greenbelt, then switching to streets downtown and then back to Julia Davis Park for the return. A one-mile loop will also be available.

Twenty-five percent of the funds raised will be donated to The Idaho Foodbank, whose mission is to nourish, educate, and advocate to support thriving, food-secure communities across Idaho. The other seventy-five percent will be given to Church World Service, a faith-based organization whose mission is to transform communities around the globe through just and sustainable responses to hunger, poverty, displacement, and disaster.

Please join us on our walk to end hunger!
