The Crop Hunger Walk has been called the "granddaddy of all walks" by the Los Angeles Times. The walks first began in 1969 and now they number in the hundreds and have raised millions of dollars to end hunger here in the community and around the world.The main walk is approximately 4 miles, there is also a 20 minute guided campus stroll for those that prefer something shorter.This is the 48th time that we will walk in the Conejo Valley, last year we had over 200 walkers and raised almost $40,000. 25% of the money is distributed to local groups fighting hunger: Manna and Harvest Food banks, Harbor House and Meals on Wheels. The rest is distributed by CWS Global here in the US and globally to fight hunger and provide disaster relief through local agencies.Hunger is a growing problem, and reduced government support has led to a surge in clients for local organizations. Help us end hunger, nobody should go to bed hungry.
