The Tioga County Hunger Walk moves to a virtual walk during the month of October. This year, because of the coronavirus pandemic and the need for social distancing, they are introducing a virtual Hunger Walk.

Over the past 50 years, tens of thousands of walkers have raised more than $500 million through the annual CROP Hunger Walk. The Tioga County CROP Hunger Walk generally raises $10,000 or more, which is a large donation for a small county walk.
Walkers will be signing up online at crophungerwalk.org/tiogacountyny and walking in isolation to show their solidarity with the millions of neighbors around the world who must walk to live, as well as with the millions served by local food pantries, food banks, and meal sites here in the U.S.
