Hamilton, NY CROP Walk team lauded as one of national Cream of the CROP
Mike Jaquays
Making sure people locally and globally aren’t going hungry is something the congregation members of St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church in Hamilton are committed to both in prayer and in deed.
Their own Highroad Walkers team were recently praised by Church World Service for raising $9,100 in their October CROP Hunger Walk … an exemplary feat that earned them recognition as one of the top fundraising teams in the country.
“We are passionate about helping the local community and want to help as many of our neighbors as we can,” said Emily Hutton-Hughes, who is co-captain of the team with Susan Beattie.
