Join us for the CROP Walk this year and help us raise awareness and funds to combat hunger worldwide and in our local communities. We’re partnering with Faith in Blue, a local initiative that connects members of our community who serve in the police force and whose faith drives their service.

The walk will take place on Sunday, October 1st, at 2:00 p.m. at Talon Park Pavilion (just north of the Aquatic Center). We’ll be walking alongside Kyle Prewitt, Plainfield’s Chief of Police. After the walk, we’ll have an Ice Cream Social back at Talon Park, where you can chat with Chief Prewitt and some of his officers about how their faith impacts their service.

If you’re interested in participating or have any questions, please get in touch with Mary Geible at 317-513-9693 or marygeible50@gmail.com. Remember to pick up your sponsor form at the CROP Walk table in the main lobby. Thank you for being so supportive! Even if you can’t walk, you can still join us for ice cream at 3:00 p.m.
