The Freehold Area CROP Hunger Walk, co-sponsored by the Greater Freehold Clergy Association and the Windsor Hightstown Area Ministerium, will be held virtually, with a kickoff event broadcast on Facebook live at the CROP Walk Freehold page (@CWFreeholdNJ) and on Zoom at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 17.
Gilded Sneaker Trophies will be awarded to the team with the most walker/fundraisers and the team raising the most funds. The walker/fundraiser raising the most funds by the Oct. 17 kickoff event will be awarded the new CROP Walk Marshal medal. Service project credit is available, according to a press release.
Teams may decide to organize in-person walks at a date, time and location of their choosing. Twenty-five percent of the money raised will be donated to two Freehold-based charities supported by the sponsoring clergy associations: Open Door food pantry and Emergency Housing and Advocacy Program.
This year, some of the national and international CROP money raised will also be used to support staff members who are already working with Afghan refugees and meeting their needs.
Materials and registration information is available at www.crophungerwalk.org/freeholdnj
