23rd ANNUAL CROP WALK
Date: Sunday, March 22
Registration: 1:30 PM at Carrboro Town Commons
Step off starting time: 2:30 PM
Please consider joining with others in the community for a four- or two-mile walk through Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Funds raised will help to end hunger in our community as well as throughout the world through the Inter-Faith Council and Church World Service. Invite your friends, co-workers, or neighbors to walk with you or sponsor you. Especially during these rough economic times, your support is urgently needed!
WHAT'S NEW:
1) Shorter route option--to allow for more individuals and families to participate
2) Lighter "Environmental Footprint"--T-Shirts are all organic and we are encouraging folks to bring their own water bottle if you have one to reduce waste at water stations
3) CROP Walk Benefit Concert--two great performances at The Station at Southern Rail (by Weaver St. Market)
March 15, 7 PM (see attached flyer)
T-Shirts are $8 in advance and $10 the day of the Walk.
A CROP Walk Benefit Concert is the Sunday before the Walk-- see attached flyer!
Please contact Shannon Gigliotti for more information or to purchase a T-Shirt in advance.

Have you noticed the tree with the little paper bears hanging from it in Carr Mill Mall? That tree is usually almost empty of bears by now. I was thinking maybe it was just me being paranoid or sentimental, but the Carrboro Citizen affirmed what I suspected.
The families in need of assistance with Christmas gifts is increasing and the donations are not meeting the need.
The Orange County Department of Social Services Toy Chest is running low on toys and clothes. Families are participating who had no need in the past. The Citizen mentioned how sad it is for younger children to be bypassed because they can't understand, but a friend also said that the Toy Chest is particularly in need of things for teens.
To donate toys or checks can be taken to Southern Human Services on Homestead Road in Chapel Hill or Whitted Human Services in Hillsborough.
Spread the word.
