The 2021 Solanco CROP Walk took place at Muddy Run Park in Holtwood on Oct. 16. Before the walk, participants had opportunities to take photos with posters that said, "I am helping to 'beet' hunger and 'squash' poverty around the block and around the world!"

There were 73 participants, including some virtual walkers, representing 13 community churches and organizations. They took a 5-mile walk through Muddy Run, and refreshments were served before and after the walk.

The final fundraising total was more than $17,078 - the third-highest amount raised in the 41 years of the Solanco CROP Walk. Seventy-five percent of the funds raised were to go to Church World Service, and 25% were to be directed to Solanco Neighborhood Ministries.
