CROPWALK

Thanks to all walkers and contributors, Shells raised $1,510 for the CROP walk!    A special thanks to Donald E. for faithfully coordinating this worthwhile ministry.

For more than 35 years, Cropwalkers have been walking with the world.  We walk with the world...in the U.S., with neighbors who walk to emergency food programs to get food they need to survive.  They walk to help some 3,200 local food pantries, food banks, and meal sites throughout the United States who provide food to families in need.

We walk with the world...in parts of Africa, where drought-related famine imperils millions of families.  Cropwalkers walk to help communities drill borehole wells that reach deep in the aquifer, and to provide emergency food and drought-resistant seed for replanting.

We walk with the world...because more than 35 million of our global neighbors have been uprooted from their homes by war, natural disaster, poverty, or persecution.  Cropwalkers walk to help provide shelter and food for refugee and displaced families, and rebuilding, replanting, and micro-credit assistance when families are able to return to their homes.

Millions of people around the world walk every day for food, for shelter, for water, for survival!  Make a difference in our community and the world—Walk or Sponsor a Walker?

CROPWALK will be held on Sunday, October 17 at 1:00 PM (Registration) & 1:30 PM (Walk) in Grantville, PA.  As usual, a percentage of the funds raised will go toward the food bank.  For more information, please see  Don E., Coordinator.  For online donations, please click on the following website:  http://www.churchworldservice.org/site/TR/2009FallCROPHungerWalks/General?pg=entry&fr_id=3987.
