Chicago, IL - The 25th annual CROP Walk was a huge success. Over 700 walkers raised $85,000. Some of this money goes oversees to assist refugees and some of it stays in Chicago to help hungry and homeless people. The walk, on Sunday, October 21, saw people follow a route that started at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) campus and then circle Chicago's Loop returning to an outdoor concert at UIC. Members of the ICH staff serve on the Walk's planning committee. Residents and staff also volunteer on the day of the Walk. ICH receives funds from each year's walk.
