Dallas County CROP Walk

The 2012 Dallas County CROP walk begins at the Dairy Shoppe in Adel, winds through the Raccoon River Valley Trail and ends at the Waukee Christian Church in Waukee this Sunday beginning at 2 p.m.

The 2012 CROP Walk for World Hunger is a 5.5 mile walk sponsored by Church World Service, an international relief, development, and refugee resettlement agency. Money raised by the CROP Walk is used to provide food, medical care, disaster relief, and self-help development for needy people around the world. Twenty-five percent of the money raised at the Dallas County CROP Walk will be distributed to local agencies including the Waukee Area Christian Services Food Pantry and Free Clinic in the lower level of the Westview Church.
