Kendall County CROP Walk Wants to End Hunger "One Step at a Time"

A portion of the funds raised in Oswego will go to the Kendall County Food Pantry.

The Kendall County CROP Walk is this weekend and the organizers have one goal in mind: to end world hunger one step at a time.

Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty (CROP) walks are sponsored worldwide by Church World Service, an international relief agency.

The 19th annual Kendall County Crop Walk will take place on Sunday, Sept. 22 a 1 p.m. at the Oswego Presbyterian Church, 1976 Rt. 25.

The event will open with registration and a hot dog lunch at 1 p.m. and at 1:30 p.m., the walk against hunger steps off on a route that ends at the church. 

Everyone is invited, although pets are required to be on leashes.
