CROP Walk raises more than $3,000 on a drizzly day

A total of 26 walkers with four dogs raised over $3,000 for the CROP hunger walk on Sunday, with more to come in, according to local chair Marlene Uphaus.

There were also many virtual walkers who contributed, but chose to not come to the event due to the rain threat and COVID-19. The good news is the financial support level was similar to past years’ events!
