Walking the walk

“We Walk Because They Walk” is the slogan for the CROP Walk, which is being held across the country and across central New York. It starts locally this weekend.

Volunteers are walking Sunday in Auburn, Elbridge, Skaneateles and next Sunday in Aurora and Weedsport. Walkers solicit pledges and donations up to the time of the walk.

CROP stands for “Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty,” and is a project of Church World Service, multi-denominational organization that provides sustainable self-help and development, disaster relief and refugee assistance in more than 80 countries around the world.
