CROP WALK HELD - SEPTEMBER 29th

No one in this world should be hungry. That's why the Saint Louis Metro CROP Hunger Walk is more than just a gathering of people in a place. We're part of a movement, taking steps and raising funds to provide meals for those in our community who need them - and supporting programs that create greater food security in communities worldwide.

Please join us in the fight against hunger. The steps we take and the funds we raise will make a difference in the lives of others.
