Come rain or shine, area residents are rearing up for the 28th annual Charlevoix County CROP Walk slated for Saturday, September 24th at 9:00 a.m. The six mile walk will commence from three Charlevoix County locations. Those from East Jordan will meet at Elm Pointe. Boyne City participants will assemble at Whiting Park while Charlevoix walkers will gather at the Charlevoix Middle School. The event will conclude at the Congregational Church in Ironton where lunch will be provided to all who participated. All area churches and individuals are invited to join in this annual fund raiser. Organized locally, the Charlevoix County CROP Walk has set a goal to recruit 125 walkers to raise $20,000. The funds will be used to combat hunger here in our own communities are well as to help others around the world. Twenty-five percent of all funds raised will be returned to Charlevoix County to support the work of The Good Samaritan of Ellsworth, Care and Share in East Jordan, the Charlevoix Food Pantry, Boyne Fall Food Pantry as well as the Seventh Day Adventist and Trinity Pentecostal Church of God in Boyne City. Last year, over 116 walkers and volunteers raised more than $19,500. Of those funds, $4,878 was distributed among local food pantries. The remaining contributions were used to fight hunger and to provide better sanitation for communities in the United States as well as those around the world. For more information about CROP Walk, please contact: Marge Teske in East Jordan at 231-536-3128, John Young in Charlevoix at 231-547-2042 and Mary Richwine in Boyne City at 231-582-6035.
