“O God, to those who have hunger, give bread, And to us who have bread, give the hunger for justice.”       
-Latin American prayer

​Every March our parish joins with other Camarillo churches and neighbors from different faiths, cultures and ages, to stand against hunger in our local community and the world.
​
The reason we walk is because “they walk”.  Hungry people in developing countries typically walk as much as six miles a day to get food, water, and fuel and to take their goods to market. We walk to be in solidarity with their struggle for existence. Together we raise awareness and funds. 

The funds raised will fight hunger around the world and our local food pantries: St. Mary Magdalen/Padre Serra Christian Service Program, Christians Acting Together, Food Share, St. Columba’s Episcopal Food Pantry, Seventh Day Adventist Church Food Pantry, Many Meals and RAIN.

A Message from CROP Walk
"Every year, Church World Service tallies a list of the Top 100 fundraising teams for CROP Hunger Walks, a group that we call the CREAM of the CROP. With over 900 walks and thousands of teams, we’re very happy to tell you that Padre Serra is a CREAM of the CROP team for your participation in the Camarillo CROP Hunger Walk!"
Way to go team!

On March 10, 2019, Padre Serra parishioners joined with neighboring faith communities to put their foot down against hunger, raising over $23,476 by 335 walkers! Of that total, Padre Serra raised $7,000! ​Many thanks to our walkers, donors, bakers, registration volunteers, crossing guard, route markers, first-aid nurse, and welcoming helpers.
