(Chelsea Update would like to thank Kathie Gourlay for the information in this story.)
Walkers are getting sponsors for the 27th CROP Hunger Walk that will take place on Sunday, Oct. 5.
This 1-mile or 5-mile walk around Chelsea will begin at St. Paul United Church of Christ. The money raised will be used to help hungry and poor people around the world and locally.
Twenty-five percent of the funds raised will go to Faith in Action. The rest will go to Church World Service or the national relief organization the donor designates.
Last year, the Chelsea/Dexter CROP Hunger Walk raised over $20,000 with about a hundred walkers.
It is not too late to get an envelope and participate as an individual, or for your organization to have a group of walkers. Children, accompanied by their parents, and pets are welcome.
For a donation envelope please contact Nancy Paul at Faith in Action 475-3305.
