Mayor Harry Rilling and state Sen. Bob Duff will be presenting proclamations to formally declare the date as Norwalk CROP Hunger Walk Day.
CROP hunger walks have developed as a way to help provide food and water to needy people all around the world. A quarter of the money raised will be used in fighting hunger locally, and the rest will go to Church World Service, a non-profit organization that fights hunger throughout the world, both in needy communities and disaster-stricken areas, and provides other necessary services.
For more information on the group, visit the website at www.churchworldservice.org.
To participate in the walk, visit the website at crophungerwalk.org/norwalkct and sign up as an individual or start a group. Ask for donations from others or make a donation.
Registration for the walk will begin at 1:30 p.m. Donations may be made online, brought to the church at the time of the walk, or mailed to CWS, P.O. Box 968, Elkhart, IN 46515.
