In 2021, we will continue to fight against
the challenges of disease, disaster, dis-
placement, and other concerns that leave
people hungry. Join with us as we raise
funds to help neighbors near and far get
the meals they need for today and sustain-

So far, we have raised $400 in online
donations and $361.41 in Facebook
donations or reported cash and checks!
Your generosity and fundraising will
make a world of difference:
$15 Chickens for a Family: Chickens
provide a constant supply of eggs
(protein), helping children become
stronger and healthier.
$30 Biosand Water Filter: Provide a
family with fresh, clean water for drinking,
washing and cooking.
$65 Two Months of Meals: Enough to

CWS and CROP Hunger Walks: CROP
Hunger Walks are community-based walk
events held in cities and towns across the
United States, raising funds to support the
global mission of Church World Service,
a faith-based organization transforming
communities around the globe through just
and sustainable responses to hunger,
poverty, displacement and disaster.
25% of the funds raised are returned to
the host community to support local
hunger fighting efforts.
Background: The Crop Project was
organized in 1947 when farmers were
asked to donate food and seed crops to
our hungry neighbors in post-World War II
Europe and Asia, a program that soon
became known as the Christian Rural
Overseas Program - CROP. In 1969 in
Bismarck, North Dakota, and in 1970 in
York, Pennsylvania, the first walk events
were organized to raise funds to support
CROP. Since then, CROP Hunger Walk
events have been held in hundreds of
communities large and small raising
millions of dollars to eradicate hunger
and poverty.

greatest injustices facing our world,
but it doesn’t have to be this way. Ending
hunger is possible, and it is possible in
our lifetime. You can help make it
happen. Register for your local CROP

one step closer to ending hunger once

Statement of Identity We are Disciples of Christ, a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world. As part of the one body of Christ, we welcome all to the Lord’s Table as God has welcomed us. If we are who we profess to be, then we must do as the Lord directs. Matthew 22:9 says “Go therefore into the main streets, and invite everyone you find to the wedding banquet.” There is room at the Lord’s Table for all God’s children. Let us come together to celebrate the bread of heaven.
