CROP Hunger Walk Sunday

  • Vincent United Methodist Church 100 Vincent Place Nutley, NJ 07110 (map)

The Nutley CROP Hunger Walk will be held on Sunday afternoon, October 17 starting at Vincent Church (100 Vincent Place). Registration will begin at 12:30 with the walk beginning at 1:00 with a welcome and an interfaith prayer. Walkers will walk south through Yanticaw Park to Centre Street over to Franklin Avenue up to Vreeland Avenue and then north through Memorial Park back to the church for 2:00. Shorter and longer routes are welcome according to each person’s ability. As walkers return to the church, they will be appreciated for their effort to end hunger and enjoy fellowship and refreshments. To remain COVID safe, this will be a completely outdoor activity, with masks and distancing requested as needed. The Nutley Walk page is Nutley CROP Hunger Walk where walkers can register, join a team, review walk information, and see pictures of some past walks. Everyone is invited to register online, do promotion, collect sponsors, share pictures to social media, and submit their donations. Walkers are encouraged to visit the general CROP Hunger Walk website (www.crophungerwalk.org) to find lots of fundraising tips along with activities for children, youth and adults to make it a fun and educational experience. The walk is sponsored by the Nutley Clergy Fellowship. For local information and sponsor forms, contact Rick DeKovessey (jdekovessey@aol.com) or Lisa Feraco (teemof8@aol.com). During this pandemic, the needs have only grown. Your efforts will help the hungry around the world with 25% of it providing food for our neighbors in need through the Nutley Family Service Bureau Food Pantry and the Vincent Church Care Kitchen. Why do we walk? We are ending hunger one step at a time!
