CROP Hunger Walks and Bread for the World
So you're helping to plan the annual CROP Walk – well, think about incorporating a letter writing table near the CROP Registration Table. Many of our Walks know that people show up with plenty of time before the start of the Walk and have added the option of participating in the Bread for the World Offering of Letters.This year's letter writing campaign focuses on increasing our government's poverty-fighting efforts by at least $5 billion a year. In particular, we want this funding aimed at programs like CWS/CROP that most directly address the root causes of poverty and hunger.
Check out the new Bread for the World logo and get more information on this year's offering of letters at: www.bread.org.

2007 - A banner CROP Hunger Walk year!
The Pennsylvania Northern West Virginia fall CROP Hunger Walks raised $1,161,912 by April 1, 2008! Thank you to all CROP coordinators, planning teams, Walkers and supporters for this outstanding achievement! This link lists all CROP Walks in 2007, both spring and fall. Those CROP Walks (19) shown in red indicate that 2007 was their very best year, raising more money than in the history of their CROP community event. The CROP Walks with green highlighting are those that doubled or nearly doubled their income over 2006. Special congratulations to the Murrysville, Northeast Philadelphia, and Selinsgrove CROP Hunger Walks for such a strong effort in 2007.| CROP HUNGER WALKS and Special Events | 2007 | 2006 |

Local partners rock!
The Greenville Good Shepherd Center, local grant recipient from the Greenville CROP Hunger Walk
“The initial idea of a food pantry has, over time, expanded to encompass a full-time ministry, that in addition to food also provides clothing, shelter, rent and utility assistance, crisis intervention, budget counseling, a free medical clinic, educational and motivational opportunities, and a holiday used toy program.” Excerpt from “About the Good Shepherd Center.”
The eyes of first-time visitors to the Greenville, PA, Good Shepherd Center are drawn to a beautiful mural lifting up this quote by Martin Luther: “I have held many things in my hands and lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, I still possess.” Guided by words such as these, it is possible to understand how the Greenville community together has been able to transform a food pantry into the amazing full-time ministry described above.
Rev. Aland Smith, Coordinator of the Greenville CROP Hunger Walk, and CWS staff member Kathy Clark toured this amazing program with Mary Ann Keeher, Executive Director. Mary Ann’s faithful belief in our ability to recognize Christ in the “least of these” and in the possibilities we share in making a difference are readily apparent. Housed in a cinder block building in downtown Greenville, the Good Shepherd Center is broadly ecumenical, supported by 24 Board Member Congregations. Run mostly by volunteers, the Center is alive with activity from the clothing store and “Treasures” shop to the behind the scenes receiving and sorting of contributions to the free medical clinic and to the hot meal program. This ministry brings God’s blessings and encouragement to all participants, recipients and volunteers alike. The Good Shepherd Center is a powerful example of how holistic a community assistance program can be.
Thank you to the community of Greenville and your “…[firm] belief that the ministry of the Good Shepherd Center is God’s work and He will lead the way through the coming years. ‘Teach me your way, O Lord, and lead me on a level path…’” Psalm 27:11

Pennsylvania 2007 CROP Hunger Walk photo contest
The Pennsylvania regional office is pleased to announce the winners of the 2007 Photo Contest. Walk photos were selected on the basis of content, creativity and utility. Three winning Area CROP Hunger Walks were selected. Each received an additional CROP Walk contribution of $25.00. From the three winning Walks a Top Prize of an additional $25.00 was awarded to the Walk deemed to best represent the nature and purpose of our annual CROP Hunger Walks.
Our other winning CROP Hunger Walks are: Johnstown and Grantville.
The folks who walk from the First UMC in Johnstown have this history of wearing "crazy hats” in a spirit of uplifting a joyful fellowship among Walkers." The unity of purpose, ending hunger, can be illustrated in many ways.
Grantville capitalized on receiving their 30th Anniversary CROP Hunger Walk engraved walking stick with this photo that appeared in the local papers prior to their anniversary walk that raised their best total in the past three years.
| TOP Prize: Allentown CROP Hunger Walk – Allentown used international photos, local food bank photos and local CROP Hunger Walk photos on their local blog page to illustrate the caring partnerships that are at the heart of every CROP Hunger Walk. Their blog page can be seen at: allentowncropwalk.blogspot.com |  Photo: Chris Herlinger
