CROP Walk 2013 coming

April 9, 2013 |
Last year, Brad Buerge walked his way to $1,739
to help fight world hunger, both here and
abroad, to become the top walker in the Bonners
Ferry CROP Hunger Walk, which raised a total of
$8,428.16.
This year's CROP Hunger Walk is taking place at
the Bonners Ferry High School track from 8 a.m.
to 2 p.m. Monday, June 8, and walkers,
volunteers and donors are once again needed.
Of the $8,428.16 raised last year, about $2,100
stayed right here in Boundary County, going to
the Bonners Ferry Food Bank to help our
neighbors in need. All the rest, 75-percent,
went to Church World Services, making a
difference in the lives of the hungry around the
world.
The dollars helped brink clean, potable water to
thirsty villages in Kenya; helped dairy farmers
in Bosnia. It helped rebuild homes and lives in
Haiti after a devastating earthquake.
The money raised locally this year will help
expand upon and continue that good work, both
here and abroad.
