Janesville area walkers will help end hunger one step at a time on Sunday, April 28, during the 47th annual Janesville Area CROP Hunger Walk.
Organizers hope to raise $50,000, and ECHO again will receive 25 percent of the total amount donated. The remaining funds will help the efforts of Church World Service (CWS), a faith-based organization that fights hunger and poverty in communities around the globe.
Walkers can sign up online individually or as a team at www.crophungerwalk.org/janesvillewi. Just click on “Register,” fill in your details, and you’ll find lots of tools to help you get started. There is no registration fee to participate, but walkers are encouraged to collect donations to support the cause.
Walkers can choose a 5K route that starts at Cargill United Methodist Church, 2000 Wesley Ave., Janesville, makes a loop along Milwaukee Street, Randall Avenue, Racine Street, through Palmer Park and back to the church via Lexington Drive. A shorter 2.5K route also is available. Registration for the walk will take place from 1 to 1:30 p.m.
If you’re not available to walk on April 28, consider making a tax-deductible online contribution at www.crophungerwalk.org/janesvillewi. Regardless of its size, your gift will help people in your neighborhood and around the world.
