 Quad Cities, January 24, 2018: Six Quad Cities non-profit organizations just got a boost in their fight against hunger.

ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL, Illinois – (Jan. 25, 2018) The U.S. Army Garrison Rock Island Arsenal Directorate of Public Works will close the Government Bridge to vehicular traffic to perform repair work for two three-day intervals.

On Friday, September 1st, Quad Cities' own Josh Duffee will debut his brand new music project: a band called "Class of '82." This group, made up of six musicians, will be a 1980s synth-pop band. They will be performing in the Redstone Room at the River Music Experience in downtown Davenport.

While still staying heavily involved with my jazz gigs, Duffee says “this group will be something different and fun to perform with in addition to the great jazz music I perform each week.”

Davenport's Emily Martin graduated from Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota, earning her Master of Divinity degree on May 21st.  

Tune into "American Pickers" on History Channel this Wednesday, February 24th at 8pm!!! Thiel Motors of DeWitt, Iowa, and John Thiel Jr. will be featured on an episode that was recently filmed right at the dealership in DeWitt !...

The 44th annual Quad Cities CROP Hunger Walk is taking place here in Davenport and Rock Island on Sunday, October 4th. Registration begins at 1pm, and the walk steps off at 2pm from Modern Woodmen Park.

An estimated 600 walkers will stroll through downtown Davenport, cross the Centennial Bridge, walk around the District of Rock Island, and back across the bridge to the stadium.  This six mile trek symbolizes the walk that a person (usually a woman) in a third-world country makes daily for fresh water.

Participants in the CROP Hunger Walk collect donations from family, friends, co-workers, etc. to help raise money for hunger programs locally and globally.  Here in the Quad Cities, money goes to agencies like Kid's Cafe, Churches United, EFNEP, Meal Service of Scott County, and Humility of Mary Shelter.  Global funds are distributed by Church World Service.

Although this is a faith-based event and most of the walkers are from teams from their local churches and synogogues, any one is invited to walk and help us "end hunger one step at a time."  Please visit our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/qccropwalk for more information or to send your questions via the message feature.
