GREENSBORO — St. Pius X parishioners joined walkers who participated with other faith communities in the Greensboro CROP Hunger Walk Oct. 14.
The CROP Walk raises awareness and money to help eliminate poverty and food insecurity, while promoting sustainable farming techniques locally and internationally.
Carolyn Painley, the parish’s community and outreach associate, said this year is the 38th anniversary of the CROP Walk and that St. Pius X Parish has participated consistently in the walk since 1994, earning a Cream of the Crop Award the past several years. St. Pius X walkers were more than 150 strong this year, with a goal of families walking together.
This year the group designed its own T-shirt with the church’s logo on the front and motto (“Know, Love and Serve God”) on the back.
