CROP walk to help fight hunger

SOUTHWICK, Mass. (WWLP) - On Sunday dozens of people from Southwick and Granville gathered Sunday for the annual CROP Hunger Walk down Rt. 57 in Southwick.

The CROP Hunger Walks help children and families all across the world and in western Massachusetts fight hunger.

The Church World Service Project, who sponsors the event, work together with many area churches such as the Southwick Congregational Church.

One longtime participant told 22News, these fund raisers become a family tradition. "My entire family has been doing this for 20 years actually 20 years. I got involved it, when I met my wife, It's been something I've been doing for ten years," said Mike Daniels of Westfield.

The majority of the western Massachusetts hunger fighting CROP walks are scheduled for next October.
