LANCASTER - Final plans
are being made for the
fourth annual Lancaster
County CROP Walk for the
Hungry, scheduled for this
Sunday, October 16,
beginning at the An
nunciation Church, Lan

Veronis, chairman of the
walk, expressed confidence
that the $45,000 goal for this
year’s walk will be met by
the efforts of an anticipated
1500 walkers and as many as

collected will be sent to
CROP (and other designated
national relief agencies) to
help provide food, seed, and
technology to combat world

Sunday will remain in
Lancaster County to help
hungry people.
