Central is located at 5144 Oak St., Kansas City, MO 64112.
Plan to arrive early, catch a shuttle over to Loose Park for registration,
then enjoy the pre-Walk festivities including drawings
for a Chiefs and a Royals prize.

New this year - more entertainment, local agency displays, more fun!

What is CROP WALK?
The CROP Hunger Walk is Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty in an annual event that combines fun and fundraising to raise money for hungry people throughout the world. Walkers invite friends to sponsor them with a contribution of $5.00, $10.00, $20.00, or more.

Who walks?
Anyone who wants to make a difference in the lives of hungry people is invited. Walkers come from the Greater Kansas City Metro religious community, schools, businesses and nonprofit agencies (see a list). Over 2,500 people walk in the Heart of America CROP Hunger Walk each year.

Why walk?
Hungry people in developing countries typically walk as much as 10 kilometers each day to get food, water, and fuel, and to take their goods to market. CROP Hunger Walk provides us an opportunity to WALK WITH THE WORLD. We walk to be in solidarity with their struggle for existence. We walk to make a difference.

Who sponsors the walk?
CROP Hunger Walk is sponsored nationally by Church World Service (CWS), one of the most effective and efficient relief services in the world. Locally, faith groups who have a passion to STOP HUNGER sponsor the walk. They represent a broad spectrum of the Kansas City Metro religious communities.

How is the money spent?
$23,433 from last year's CROP Walk went to local agencies addressing hunger in our greater Kansas City metropolitan area. To see a list and read their thank you letters, click here.
