The Columbus CROP Hunger Walk Committee is pleased to announce a special celebration in honor of the 30th Annual Columbus CROP Hunger Walk. The CROP Hunger Walk will be held on Sunday, October 12 in downtown Columbus.
The Walk will begin and end in the Riverfront Amphitheater in Genoa Park (next to COSI). A short "Grand Send-Off" Ceremony will begin at 1:30 and will feature special music and special guests. The Walk will begin promptly at 1:45 pm.
The CROP Walk Committee wanted to make the walk more "kid and family friendly", so special activities have been planned for the kids, including: face painting, games and pre-walk treats.
Amy Wingerter, CROP Walk Committee member and CROP Recruiter from Worthington United Methodist said, "The committee wanted to attract more families with younger kids, so special consideration was taken for choosing walking routes that were not only scenic and interesting, but also safe. The walk this year crosses only one street and a crossing guard will be stationed at that corner."
Wayne Hubb, CROP Walk Committee member and CROP Recruiter from Bethel Temple Church said he likes the idea of walking on a paved trail next to the river. "The scenery is great. You have outstanding views of the city, the rivers and we will walk through some of the best parks in Columbus."
Long time CROP Walk Committee member Claire Badger said that she is looking forward to a different walking route this year. "The walkers will get to see different sights of Columbus this year, including the Santa Maria and possibly visiting COSI. I think it will be a great celebration!"
Plan now to join the Celebration of the 30th Annual CROP Hunger Walk on October 12th. You will be walking to help put an end to poverty and hunger in your neighborhood and around the world.
