No one in this world should be hungry. That's why the CROP Hunger Walk is more than just a gathering of people in a place. Were part of a movement, taking steps and raising funds together to provide meals for those in our own community who need them - and supporting programs that create greater food security in communities all around the world. Please join us in the fight against hunger. The steps we take and funds we raise will make a difference in the lives of others.
What is Wake Forest CROP Hunger Walk 2026? This annual community walk raises funds and awareness to combat hunger both in the Triangle and across the globe. Participants gather to walk a designated route together, turning steps into direct support for food security programs. If you are planning to attend, the walk departs from the Wake Forest Area Chamber of Commerce. There is no registration fee, but participants are encouraged to raise or donate funds. The route is manageable for toddlers in strollers, and older children can easily walk the distance. Street parking is available nearby in downtown Wake Forest, and you should bring water bottles and comfortable walking shoes for everyone in your group. This event is an excellent Sunday afternoon activity because it combines outdoor exercise with a meaningful cause. It offers a tangible way for children to understand the power of community action while spending a fall day active and outdoors.
There is no registration fee to join the walk, but participants are encouraged to make a donation or gather pledges to support local and global hunger relief.
Where do we park for the event?
