The CROP Boxcar
 
Janet Carson

The story of the boxcar in the picture is an inspiring one…the boxcar was painted with these patriotic stripes (red, white, blue) by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad in 1946. The primary mission of the boxcar was to help Midwest farm families share their grain with hungry neighbors in post-war World War II Europe. There had been an abundant harvest of wheat in the United States that year.
Through spontaneous efforts of farmers in Midwest states with the help of newly formed Church World Service, a program of great proportions was launched as trains picked up grain from town to town. By the end of 1948 there were over 2,000 freight cars loaded with gifts of grain, beans, rice and cotton bound for eastern ports. On every car was painted C.R. O. P. which stood for Christian Rural Overseas Program.
Fast-forward 21 years. On October 17, 1969, a thousand people in Bismarck, ND walked the first ever CROP Hunger Walk and raised 25,000 to help stop hunger around the world. The CROP name has been adopted by Church World Service to support their relief programs and today CWS focuses its work on the grassroots hunger-fighting and development efforts of partner agencies in more than 80 countries. It brings together churches and communities for a truly ecumenical effort. Because CROP Hunger Walks are interfaith, multi-cultural events, individual donors have the option of designating their gifts to other international hunger-fighting agencies, and communities can return up to 25% of what their local CROP Hunger Walk raises to hunger programs in their own communities.
