The Albany CROP Hunger Walk (virtual or in person) is coming soon. The in person walk is scheduled for Sunday May 1st . There will be an opening ceremony (also available to view on zoom) at 1:15 at First Lutheran Church, following registration. You may walk with the group that day (choose a 1 mile or 3 mile loop) or you may decide to walk alone, with your family or in a socially distanced small group in your own neighborhood or a nearby park any time during the month of May.

I have registered the Emmanuel team on the CROP Walk website. If you plan to walk, you can sign up for the walk online, and encourage supporters to donate online. https://events.crophungerwalk.org/2022/team/emmanuel-baptist-church-albany

I can also provide you with an envelope for donations (convert cash to check, all checks made out to CWS/CROP) and t-shirts will be available as usual. Funds are due no later than June 3.

If you are not walking, please support our team. Many of you helped last year and now the need is even greater, given the ongoing pandemic and the situation in Ukraine. 25% of funds raised are used for local hunger programs, and 75% for Church World Service hunger relief and development projects, disaster relief, improving access to clean water, and assisting refugees. Last year the Albany walk was 7th in the nation, raising $104,008.
