Hunger Walk set

BONNERS FERRY —Help fight hunger locally and globally by participating in the CROP (Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty) Hunger Walk.

The Bonners Ferry CROP Hunger Walk will be Saturday, June 8 from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Bonners Ferry High School track.

Seventy-five percent of the funds raised go to the world-wide hunger relief organization, Church World Service. Twenty-five percent of the funds go the food bank at Boundary County Community Action Partnership.

Last year, more $8,400 was raised to fight hunger locally and world-wide. Community Action Partnership received $2,100 to aid fellow Bonners Ferry residents in need.

To participate, donation envelopes can be obtained from Larry Nelson, Recruiter Leader, at 267-2175 or Judy Dirks, event coordinator, 267-3859.

Participants can walk for an organization, church, business, family, or as an individual. Walkers can be any age but anyone under 18 must have their registration form signed by a parent or guardian before participating in the CROP Walk at the track.
