CLUB PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
The Martha's Vineyard
 Interact Club

Crop Walk Project
 
You can check out the MV Club HERE

The Crop Walk is a community organized event to raise money for world hunger. Occurring in many different towns and cities, people come together with the help of groups or congregations to walk for a set distance and fundraise to help this issue. On Martha's Vineyard, we partnered with different groups on the island to raise money for and participate in the Crop Walk. Getting sponsors and donations form local business, families, and friends and hosting bake sales at school through our Interact Club we were able to raise money which the Rotary club matched to donate. On October 20th community members came together on a beautiful day and walked around 3 miles for the cause; World Hunger.
