45th Arlington CROP Hunger Walk

Walk to fight hunger and the disease, disaster, displacement and other challenges that leave people hungry - in the 45th Arlington CROP Hunger Walk on Saturday, October 15.

The need is especially great this year. With prices skyrocketing, food pantries are struggling to keep up with increased demand. Last year, Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC) provided more than 3 million pounds of food to 5,583 families. Worldwide, the number of displaced people has surpassed 100 million for the first time. Millions of refugees have fled Ukraine, Afghanistan, Syria, and other countries. Hunger and food shortages are growing in country after country. 

You Can Do Something! Join with area faith communities, service groups, family teams, and individuals to help neighbors near and far get the meals they need for today and sustainable food security for tomorrow! 75% of the funds we raise supports food programs around the world. via Church World Service; 25% helps feed hungry people locally through AFAC. You can join or start a team on our Walk webpage. Can't make it? Sponsor a Walker.

This year, the CROP Walk will have a new 6K route. It is estimated that women and girls in developing countries walk an average of 6 miles to get water. Let's reflect on this as we walk together in the 45th Arlington CROP Hunger Walk.
