The 2025 Carroll County CROP Walk will be held Sunday, April 6th, in Union Bridge starting off at Union Bridge Church of the Brethren.  Registration will begin at 1:30pm and the walk at 1:45pm.  This event supports the work of Church World Service to fight world hunger. The Walk also benefits our community as 25% of donations are returned to Carroll County for Access Carroll, St. James Food Pantry and Shepherd’s Staff.  This is a community event and all are welcome.   You can sign up at the link below.

If you cannot participate in the walk, please be a sponsor for someone or you can donate online at https://events.crophungerwalk.org/crophungerwalks/event/unionbridgemd.  Make checks payable to CWS/Crop. Let’s help in “Ending Hunger One Step at a Time”.
