ST. GEORGE — A faith group is asking the Southern Utah community to “walk a few miles in someone else’s shoes.”
The St. George Interfaith Council invites the community to join their neighbors at the 9th annual “CROP Walk” Saturday morning. The walk starts at Larkspur Park and continues on trails in St. George for up to 6 miles, representing the average distance people in third-world countries walk each day to get food and water and go to work.
The CROP Walk, which stands for “Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty,” is a major service project for many St. George-area churches, creating an opportunity for members of all churches to serve with neighbors of other faiths.
Each year the CROP Walk raises $6,000-plus to help support the weekly “Sunday Feast” at Solomon’s Porch and to feed hungry people throughout the world.
Everyone is invited, whether they wish to donate, walk the 6 miles or just mingle. Four churches will have refreshment tables along the CROP Walk route.
“Our St. George CROP Walkers are the best-fed hunger walkers in America,” the Interfaith Council said in a press release.
For 10 years the St. George Interfaith Council has provided a forum for leaders of 22 area churches to work together to foster harmony and friendship in the community.
