Sunday, April 5, 2020, 2:00 PMLocation: Duke Chapel/Campus
The 2020 Durham CROP Hunger Walk's steering committee has decided to host the April 5 Walk virtually this year. This decision was made in accordance with NCDHHS's mitigation recommendations and the CDC's guidelines for responding to the COVID-19 outbreak. Here's a note from the Durham CROP Hunger Walk coordinator, Kaaren Johansen:
Introducing the VIRTUAL CROP Hunger Walk.
What does that mean? You and your team should NOT gather at Duke Campus on Sunday, April 5th. There will be no event on campus. It's important we avoid large gatherings in order to accord with the CDC's recommendations for COVID-19 mitigation.
So what WILL we do?
First: Set up a Walk page online (if you haven't already). That way donations can be made by checks. The site to do so is here.
Second: Plan to participate in an alternative way.
· Hike on a local trail where social distancing is possible.
· Contact one of our local recipient agencies to see how you can help with their changing volunteer needs.
· Come up with an idea of your own--and share it!
· Record yourself talking about why the CROP Walk is important to you. Post it using #EndHungerNow and #VirtualDurmCROPWalk. (The National CWS office may share it! Remember to wear your T Shirts! Make sure to tag your friends and potential donors and include your personal/team fundraising page link.)
Let’s keep holding each other in the light. Stay healthy and inspired. It is more important now than it has ever been.
Note: Shirts will still be available every Friday from 2-4 and Saturday from 9:30 – noon at the trailer behind St. Paul’s Lutheran Church 1200 W Cornwallis Rd) until April 4th.
More information about live-streaming will be forthcoming in the coming days on the CROP Hunger Walk Facebook page and website.
