Some 70 people participated in the CROP Hunger Walk from the Irvington Presbyterian Church to Dobbs Ferry and back on Sunday, April 28. The event raised $7,529.36 overall, two thirds of which went to the Church World Service, sponsors of CROP (Christian Rural Overseas Program, initially created after World War II to help midwestern American farm families share their grain with impoverished people in Europe and Asia). The remainder, nearly $1,900, goes locally to Feeding Westchester, which provides food for some 220,000 every month.
The walk itself was a 3.5 mile hike down Broadway and back on the Aqueduct on a hot, sunny afternoon, though some participants cut the distance by cutting through the Dobbs Ferry High School campus.
