How to Be a Successful Recruiter

2008 CROP Walk Goals

100 Churches, 1,000 Walkers and $100,000 to help end hunger here at home and around the world

You can help us reach these goals!


Keys to CROP Hunger Walk Success

• Set goals to increase the amount of walkers from your church. The goal of the Columbus CROP Walk is to have 1,000 walkers this year. We can reach that goal with your help!

• Publicize your goal with your congregation. Encourage them to support the CROP Hunger Walk by walking and/or donating to help end hunger.

• Get your leaders and clergy involved. Ask them to promote the CROP Hunger Walk from the pulpit. Ask them to walk with your church.

• Set up and staff a CROP Walk table at your church to recruit walkers. Make a colorful sign of everyone who is walking. Collect donations at the table. See if you can have a CROP Walk Collection the day of the walk.

· Encourage all of your walkers to “Walk Green” by using Walking on the Web. Churches that use Walking on the Web see a 25% increase in their
donations.

Key CROP Walk Recruiting Pieces

You’ve received Key Recruiting Promotional Materials to assist in your
recruiting goals. Here is a handy guide on how to use these materials.

Use the red brochure the first week that you recruit in church. Each church bulletin should have a red brochure. They help to answer the questions: “What is a CROP Walk and why should I walk?”

Use this promotional flier the second week that you advertise. Each church bulletin should receive this flier. It has great information on how together we make a difference by CROP Hunger Walking.

The Donation Envelope is given to each CROP Walker for recording their sponsors and collecting their donations.

Give a Walking on the Web brochure an to each walker. Web Walkers will see a 25% increase in their donations.

A colorful, eye-catching poster to help promote your CROP Hunger Walk, with room at the bottom for you to write information.

Peel-off CROP stickers allows you to get your entire congregation involved. If someone gives a walker a donation, the walker can give the donor a sticker for participating. Some people like to see how many stickers they can collect.
