FYI: Walk to end hunger planned Sunday

The 10th annual Snohomish Community CROP Hunger Walk begins at 1 p.m. Sunday at Christ the King Lutheran Church, 1305 Pine Ave., Snohomish.

Walkers are collecting donations from sponsors to walk at least one mile or more than five miles in a loop around Snohomish.

Snohomish churches participating in the walk include: Snoho­mish Presbyterian, Snohomish Free Methodist, Snohomish United Methodist, Good Shepherd Lutheran, Zion Lutheran, Christ the King Lutheran, St. John’s Episcopal, The Bridge Church of Snohomish County and Ebenezer Lutheran Church in Lake Stevens.

Organizers hope to raise more than $10,000 to help stop hunger. A portion of the money will go to the Snohomish Community Kitchen, which serves meals to the elderly, poor and disabled every Thursday at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Snohomish. The remainder goes to programs sponsored by Church World Service.

CROP stands for Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty.
