Erie County CROP Walk: The 2025 Erie County CROP Hunger Walk is one for the record books. More than $128,000 was raised, exceeding our previous best by almost $40,000! And Presbyterian Churches once again led the way. Thirteen of our Erie County churches had Walk groups. Together they raised more than half of the total raised. Church of the Cross raised just over $19,000 and was again our overall leader. Working together we can generously support 25 local agencies and ministries with CROP grants as well as provide needed funds for Church World Service hunger and poverty projects. Many thanks to everyone who supported the Walk, whether as a walker or a sponsor or both. Please note that the 2026 Erie CROP Walk will be held on Sunday, September 27.
