The Crop Walk for Hunger took place Sept. 22 and raised more than $5,000 to fight hunger.
Three-quarters of the proceeds go to fighting world hunger, and the remaining 25% is used to fight hunger in the Illinois Valley. A total of 35 participants walked, and six local churches came together for this cause: Trinity United Church of Christ in La Salle, Granville UCC, Zion UCC in Peru, Spring Valley UCC, Cherry UCC and DePue UCC.
