South DuPage CROP Hunger Walk Set For Sunday In Downers Grove

DOWNERS GROVE, IL — The 2026 South DuPage CROP Hunger Walk will take place Oct. 18 in Downers Grove. This year marks the 41st year for the walk, which helps raise money to fight hunger locally and throughout the world.

Sunday's CROP Hunger Walk will step off from Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, 4501 Main St., at 2 p.m. Registration starts at 1 p.m. Those participating in the main walk will travel 3.7 miles through Downers Grove before returning to the church. A 1.5-mile family walk is also available, covering a shorter route, but with the same start and end point.

Individuals and teams are encouraged to get donations in support of the CROP Hunger Walk's mission.

In 2025, The South DuPage CROP Hunger Walk raised $49,409.65 to help combat food insecurity. In the time since the first South DuPage CROP Hunger Walk was held in 1986, the initiative has donated more than $1 million to help those in need.
