How has the local funding changed since the 2003 Walk?
The all-volunteer Midlands CROP WALK board has decided to simplify the local funding process and make it consistent with CROP WALKS around the country. Emergency Food Pantry programs in Richland and Lexington Counties who have received funding in the past have been invited to participate. Those who have chosen to participate are the food pantry program at Harvest Hope Food Bank and the food pantry program at Lexington Interfaith Community Services (LICS).
