Interchurch Council Plans
First Hunger Relief Waik
Local volunteers will walk to
raise money to relieve world hunger
Sunday, May 5, in the first CROP
Walk sponsored by the South
Brunswick Interchurch Council.
CROP is the acronym for Chris
tian Rural Overseas Program, part
of the education and fund raising
outrcach of Church World Service,
the disaster relief and development
division of the National Council of
Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.
Coordinator Don Eggcrt, of
Camp United Methodist Church in
Shallotte, said the CROP Walk is an
excellent opportunity for people of
all ages to participate in an event to
help fight hunger.
Approximately seven local
churches are already committed to
participating in the walk, he said,
and others are welcome to join in.
Last year 75 CROP events across
North Carolina raised S1.4 million
for hunger relief, including SI, 700
raised by the county's only other
CROP event, the annual walk spon
sored by the Interfaith Council serv
ing the Southport-Oak Island area.
Most of the funds raised will be
used by Church World Service for
overseas relief and development
work, including hunger relief work
under way in Ethiopa and Sudan,
and in the Middle East, where the
Red Crescent (similar to the Red
Cross) is helping countries cope
with the thousands of refugees from
the Persian Gulf War.
However, up to 25 percent of the
funds raised can be designated to
aid hunger relief efforts in Bruns
wick County.
Eggert said coordinators within
various local churches will be dis
tributing CROP information and
walk registration forms in the near
future.
Walkers seek and collect pledges
of donations based on the number
of miles walked.
More information on the walk or
CROP is available from Eggert at
754-5082, evenings.
