Los Alamos Fundraiser Raises Over Nine Thousand Dollars for Hunger Relief
Organizers of the 2025 Annual Los Alamos CROP Hunger Walk and Turkey Trot reported raising more than nine thousand dollars, with organizers counting approximately nine thousand six hundred dollars following the event. About ninety participants completed the course on a chilly Sunday, and online contributions will remain open through year end on the event's CROP donation page.
Organizers reported that the Los Alamos community raised more than nine thousand dollars during the 2025 Annual CROP Hunger Walk and Turkey Trot, with approximately nine thousand six hundred dollars counted following the event. The walk and run drew about ninety participants on Sunday November twenty third, despite chilly conditions that morning, and the nonprofit thanked donors and volunteers for their support.
The event serves as both a fundraiser and a visible community response to food insecurity, which affects health outcomes across age groups. Local leaders framed the dollars raised as essential to sustaining hunger relief efforts that support individuals and families facing immediate food needs, and as a reinforcement of the informal safety net residents rely on between government programs and service providers. Organizers noted that online donations will continue through the end of the year on the event's CROP donation page, giving residents additional time to contribute.
Participation levels at the walk and run are also a measure of community engagement. Roughly ninety people completing the course demonstrates local willingness to support neighbors in need, and the event provided an opportunity for cross sector collaboration between volunteers, faith groups, local service organizations, and donors. For public health, sustaining these community led funding streams matters because stable access to nutritious food reduces the risk of chronic disease and eases pressure on emergency services.
The small but steady haul of funds from Los Alamos reflects broader equity questions about how communities resource basic needs. Fundraising events can only supplement structural solutions, and advocates say investments in food access and social supports are necessary to produce lasting health improvements for low income households. Local policymakers and health providers can use participation and donation trends from events like this to inform planning for food assistance and outreach.
Residents who want to support hunger relief can contribute through the event's CROP donation page through year end. Organizers continue to accept online donations and expressed appreciation for the community solidarity that carried the event through chilly weather and ensured resources for neighbors in need.
