No one in this world should be hungry. That's why the Marquette County CROP Hunger Walk is more than just a gathering of people in a place. We're part of a movement, taking steps and raising funds together to provide meals for those in our own community who need them - and supporting programs that create greater food security in communities all around the world.

Please join us in the fight against hunger. The steps we take and funds we raise will make a difference in the lives of others.

What is the CROP walk?

It is an effort to increase awareness of hunger related issues and raise funds to address them. We seek to feed people—around the corner and around the world.
