Walk to End Hunger One Step at A Time!
Location of the Walk:
In order to practice social distancing, CROP Hunger Walkers are encouraged to walk in their neighborhoods, their greenways, their church parking lot, and even on their treadmills! The location doesn’t matter, nor the length – we’d love to just see you out walking to end hunger one step at a time by taking pictures and tagging us on Facebook or Instagram so we can share photos of our walkers. You can walk with your family or in small groups (according to CDC guidelines), and you can even Facetime while you walk with members of your congregation!
Distance of the Walk:
Traditionally, the walk distance is slightly over 2K (1.34 miles). With this year's Walk being virtual, you can walk whatever distance you are comfortable with. We just want to see you walking!
Registration (Signing Up to Walk)
While we are highly encouraging walkers to register online, you may register your team at Crisis Control Ministry, 200 E. Tenth St. When you turn into the Crisis Control parking lot, turn left and go around to the back of the building to park in the upper level parking lot. Walk over the metal walkway to the second floor, ring the bell to the administrative office and someone will help you. Please wear a mask and come Monday-Friday between the hours of 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. If you need to come a little later, please call 336-703-8282 for assistance.

T-shirts:
With this year's walk being virtual, anyone who signs up to walk will receive a t-shirt as long as we still have their size available. We will not be giving out t-shirts on Walk day since the Walk is virtual this year. You can pick up your team’s t-shirts at Crisis Control Ministry beginning Tuesday, September 15, 2020. See directions and hours for Crisis Control Ministry above under "Registration".
Any remaining t-shirts can be purchased for $10 each at Crisis Control Ministry until Friday, November 13th or while supplies last.
Fundraising (Collecting Donations):
This year, you can fundraise online or in-person. To fundraise online, make sure to register as a Walker online under your church's team name. Your congregation's Team Captain will need to register online to setup your church's team name. For example, "Highland Presbyterian Church" or "Greenbrier Neighborhoods". Once you've registered you can share your fundraising page within your network and ask people to sponsor you as you walk to end hunger one step at a time. Set a goal for yourself and make it fun!
To fundraise in-person, ask your congregation's Team Captain for a donation envelope. Team Captains can pick-up donation envelopes and other Walk promotional materials at Crisis Control Ministry. See directions and hours for Crisis Control Ministry above under "Registration".
Team Captains please turn in all donations by Friday, November 13th.
Virtual Walk Day:
If your team is walking on the suggested day and time (October 18, 2020 at 2:30 PM), please tune into the Virtual Walk at 2:00 p.m. on our Facebook page to enjoy the informational videos. You can also find those videos on our website under resources two weeks before the Walk if you are choosing to walk a different date. We recommend printing out the CROPwick and other signs found under "Resources" or making your own signs to hold up as you walk, so people know you are walking to end hunger. Please post pictures before, during, and after you walk and tag us on Facebook. You can also email pictures from your walk to info@cropwalkforsyth.org.
Water:
Please remember to take a water bottle with you while you walk to stay hydrated. Don't forget to recycle your water bottle, if possible.
Restrooms:
If you are choosing to walk outside in an unfamiliar area, it's a good idea to map out your walk before you get started to see if there are any restrooms on your walk route you can access and find where they are located.
Safety:
Your safety is very important to us! Please wear your mask as you walk and wear a bright colors if you are walking close to the roads. If someone has been injured, please call 911 to seek help.
After the Walk:
Come back online to share your walk experience with us and your team. Please share any photos or videos you took on the Walk by tagging us on Facebook or Instagram or email ariesett@crisiscontrol.org. Any remaining t-shirts can be purchased after the Walk for $10 each until Friday, November 13th. Please be sure to turn in all of your congregation's donations and leftover materials by Friday, November 13th.
