On Oct. 21, Plainfield UMC will be participating in the Joliet CROP Walk. The event begins at 1 p.m. at the First/Santa Cruz Lutheran Church, located at 55 W. Benton, Joliet, and will last five miles with a one-mile option.
Twenty five percent of the Joliet CROP Walk will support both the Ridgewood Food Pantry and Blessing Bench Food Pantry in Joliet.
