How Funds Are Used Locally
25% of the money raised in our CROP Hunger Walk is distributed to local hunger-alleviating agencies in the Austin area. The community is blessed by a variety of worthy hunger agencies. The Walk Committee makes the selection informed by the city-wide Basic Needs Coalition and consultation with service providers. These are the agencies chosen by the local CROP Hunger Walk Team to receive funds in 2013:
