What makes CROP unique? I'm glad you asked!
1. CROP is Diverse . . . 35 communions/denominations work together in the U.S. to form partnerships with more than 400 groups and/or ecumenical church bodies in more than 80 countries, including the U.S. CROP Walkers come from more than six faith traditions. That is diversity!
2.CROP Cooperates . . . Church World Service allows Walk sponsors the choice of designating their gifts to a host of international voluntary agencies. Recognizing we are all in this together, CROP lets us walk together to work together.
3.CROP Advocates Local Solutions to Local Problems . . . The partners around the world develop, propose, and implement their own projects through consultation with CWS. CWS knows that projects and programs must come from the people themselves, not be imposed by others.
4.CROP Has Experience . . . 57 years of experience grace this effort. Originally formed in response to the needs of a Europe devastated by World War II, Church World Service has grown into an organization with global impact.
5.CROP Promotes Motivation . . . CROP materials focus on the need for action as opposed to the results of inaction. CROP brings you people meeting the tough challenges of everyday life, solving their problems and gaining respect.
6.CROP Gives Locally . . . 25 percent of the money raised by a CROP Hunger Walk returns directly to the community to work in local hunger efforts. Last year, food banks, pantries, and other local hunger-fighting initiatives received checks totaling nearly $4 million!
7.CROP Keeps Overhead Low and Accountability High . . . On average, just over 18.5 percent of contributed funds for the past five years has gone to management, fund raising and information sharing.
8.CROP Hunger Walks: In fifteen years time, 4,224,849 of our friends and neighbors have stepped up and walked, raising more than $206,447,002 to help end hunger.
