I'd like to start a walk team, what do I need to do?

If at all possible, try to attend the 2009 Greater Greensboro CROP Hunger Walk Kick-Off Rally on August 30th. This event will be held at the Potter's House Community Kitchen in the Greensboro Urban Ministry building from 4-5pm and pizza will be served. We will be reviewing recruiter responsibilities, proceedures, and best practices for recruiting a team and raising funds and we will be registering teams online. Also, recruiters will receive their recruiter packets at this meeting (recruiter packets include walk papers, walker envelopes, deposit slips, t-shirt order information, CROP posters, CROP bulletin inserts, Walk the Web information brochures, as well as other CROP resources).

If you are unable to attend the CROP Kick-Off, you may register your team online by clicking HERE. Then, contact the CROP office at 336.271.5959 ext. 339 to arrange to pick up your recruiter packet and to go over a brief orientation.

Lastly, have FUN! Remember, we are all in this to raise money to help feed those who are less fortunate.

Do you have CROP t-shirts? May my group wear their own shirts?

Yes, we do have CROP t-shirts! They will be available after August 30th and may be purchased from your recruiter or through the CROP office (336.271.5959 ext. 339) for $3.

If you are walking with a group and would like to identify your group; yes, you are welcome to wear your own shirts and show your pride in the success of your group! (Of course, your group members are still welcome to purchase a shirt to wear later to show their pride in participating in the Walk!)
