CHARLEVOIX CROP WALK
Charlevoix County CROP Walk to be held Saturday, September 26 at 9:00 am. Come rain or shine! Area residents are gearing up to join in the Charlevoix County CROP Walk, Saturday, September 26 at 9:00 am. The six-mile walk will begin at three Charlevoix County locations, including Elm Point in East Jordan, Whiting Park in Boyne City and Charlevoix Middle School in Charlevoix. Each location will conclude the walk at the Congregational Church in Ironton where David Phillips will provide lunch for all walkers. This year, we are walking in memory of Dorothy Stoel of Charlevoix. Both Dorothy Stoel and David Phillips were responsible for founding CROP Walk in Charlevoix.
Organized locally, the Charlevoix County CROP Walk has set a goal of recruiting 100 walkers to raise $20,000, which will work to combat hunger here in our community as well as around the world. Twenty-five percent of all monies raised here in Charlevoix County will come back locally to The Good Samaritan of Ellsworth, Care 'n Share of East Jordan, the Charlevoix Food Pantry, Seventh Day Adventist and Trinity Pentecostal Church of God of Boyne City.
Last year, 87 walkers raised more than $15,500 for the Charlevoix County CROP Walk. Four local food pantries( Care 'N Share, Charlevoix Food Pantry, Seventh Day Adventist and Trinity Pentecostal Church of God) each received $1400. The remaining funds helped to combat hunger and poor sanitation around the world, including the United States.
