CROP Walk Team Fights Hunger

Last Saturday morning, Mount Olivet fielded a team in the 49th Arlington CROP Hunger Walk. The annual event sent participants from seven congregations on a 6K trek around Arlington, beginning and ending at First Presbyterian. Participants raise funds to help feed hungry people here in Arlington and around the world.

This year’s walk has raised nearly $25K so far, of which 25% goes to Arlington Food Assistance Center and 75% to international food programs of Church World Service and its partners. Thank you to our Mount Olivet Walkers: Jim Coates, Elizabeth Rhyne, Mary Giliberti, and Ann & Kenn Speicher. And, thank you to Jim for his wonderful photos.
