The 16th annual CROP walk will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 1 at 5:30 p.m. Registration will begin at 5:15 p.m. and send off at 5:30 p.m.
There is a light supper for all participants after the walk is finished. Anyone interested in walking or sponsoring a walker is asked to contact Jan Parta.
In the past 15 years, the NY Mills CROP Walk has raised almost $18,500 for the NY Mills Area Food Shelf and almost $54,475 for Church World Service to combat hunger here in the U.S. and throughout the world.
There is greater need than ever and the 2008 walk is hoping to set a record. The 2007 CROP Walk raised a total of $6,535. Of that, $1,600 went to the NYM Food Shelf.
NY Mills has held the CROP Walk every year since 1993.

August marked the 60th anniversary of CROP (Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty.)
CROP Hunger Walks link the lives of people in the U.S. with impoverished people around the world. Up to a quarter of the money donated to CROP Hunger Walk is returned to the community where it was raised to help local soup kitchens and food pantries.
