This year’s CROP Hunger Walk will be held in memory of Alden Besse, founder and leader of the Martha’s Vineyard hunger walk for 25 years who died on December 13, 2017, two months after our last walk. In this year’s walk, we will also be honoring Betty Burton for her two decades of leadership in the Vineyard’s efforts to alleviate hunger on the island. Betty is the president of the Vineyard Committee on Hunger and the chief organizer for VCOH’s monthly Serving Hands and holiday Family to Family food service programs.
Twenty-five percent of the funds we raise will benefit the Island Food Pantry and the Vineyard Committee on Hunger in their services to the Island. The other funds will be used by Church World Service in the U.S. and globally for emergency food supplies, agricultural training, livestock, wells and pumps, farm seeds and farm equipment.
