This year鈥檚 route begins on Alumni Way, continues toward downtown Springfield, and through the South Fountain Avenue neighborhood with a snack break halfway through before heading back to campus.
CROP Walks fight hunger close to home and around the world using local resources and people to provide solutions to hunger and food insecurity that are sustainable and managed effectively. Wittenberg has hosted a CROP Walk since 1971. Whenever possible, these walks support long-term solutions, but they also respond to emergency situations, drought, famine, and disasters. CROP is administered by Church World Services (CWS) an agency that pulls together over 35 denominations to address poverty, hunger, and disaster response. Approximately 25 percent of the proceeds stay here in Clark County to address food insecurity through the Second Harvest Food pantry with the remaining proceeds fighting hunger throughout the world through CWS. Today, CROP Walks take place in more than 2,000 communities, and approximately five million participants have been involved in more than 36,000 walks the past two decades.
