On Saturday, October 16, 2010,
35 members of Aptos UMC joined with other walkers from churches and
non-profit agencies in Santa Cruz County area to raise money for Second
Harvest Food Bank and Church World Service.25% of the money raised stays
here in Santa Cruz County and goes to Second Harvest Food Bank. 75% of
the money raised goes to Church World Service, and is used to help
people in Afganistan, for example, where the Methodist Church does not
have a local operation. This year over 100 people showed up to walk.
An exciting fact is that the Aptos UMC people were able to raise about
$2,900. This amount is more than was raised altogether by the CROP Walk
in 2009!
