    2010 Shreveport-Bossier CROP WALK FAQ

    Q: What is the CROP Walk?


    A: A sponsorship walk organized nationally by Church World Service and locally by
    committees of people concerned about hunger in their own communities.

    Q: What does CROP stand for?


    A: When the first CROP walk was held in 1947, it stood for Christian Rural Outreach Program.
    It's primary mission at the time was to help farmers in the Midwest share their grain with
    hungry people in post-World War II Europe. Over the years, the program has expanded and
    changed and some have proposed that Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty might
    be a good alternative, however, mostly the name CROP is now thought of as a name instead
    of an acronym.

    Q: Where does the money go?


    A: All of the money that walkers raise goes to fund hunger relief projects. The money is split
    between local hunger relief projects in the community of the walk (25%) and the
    international projects of Church World Service (75%). Individuals can also request that their
    donations be dedicated to another international humanitarian organization instead of CWS.
    The Shreveport-Bossier walk is dedicating the local portion to the Northwest Louisiana Food
    Bank.

    Q: How can I give to another international humanitarian organization instead of CWS?


    A: Simply indicate the name of the organization online or on the walker form and Church World
    Service will send your donation to that organization. Below are some popular options, but
    you are not limited to only those on this list:

    Q: If all of the money raised goes to mission funding, how are the costs of the walk paid for?
    A: Individuals, congregations, and local business can choose to sponsor the walk to pay for the
    organizing cost of the event (city permits, t-shirts, posters, signs, etc). Depending on the level
    of their support, sponsors can get their name and logo on the T-shirt given to each walker.

    Q: When and where is the 2010 Walk?


    A: The 2010 walk will begin at Noel United Methodist Church on Sunday, October 24.
