Why CROP Walk?
Local Agencies Say Thanks!The Rhode Island Food Bank returned thanks upon receiving funds from a CROP Hunger Walk supported by the Baptist Churches of Rhode Island. Said Executive Director, Bernard Beaudreau, “With an economy that is struggling, the Food Bank is experiencing rising need. As unemployment is increasing, more and more people are seeking food assistance… in order to get through this very tough time. Because of your concern and generosity, fewer people have to choose between heating and eating.” East Hampton, CT, Food Bank Director, Barbara Shepard, said, “More and more families are turning to the food bank for help. It’s busier than we’ve ever seen it. It’s been rough out there for a lot of people.” Tri-State CROP WALKS support some 115 local food banks. |
CROP Hunger Walk Fund$ Are Not Just For Famines
In Senegal, Church World Service and its partner agency are helping women produce food on a 12½ acre plot of land that they cleared themselves. Using a pump and a drip irrigation system they can do more than raise food to feed their families. This year they also sold their first commercial harvest—a ton of melons! Now they are on their way to being food self-sufficient, and have funds to reinvest in both gardening and schooling for their children.Walk With Us
Is your community CROP Walking? If not, contact the Tri-State CWS/CROP office to discover how you can be included in CROP Walking either this fall or next spring.Even though CROP Walking is a major part of what we do, it is one of the best-kept secrets nationally and regionally, receiving very little publicity. The Tri-state CROP Walker is our way of highlighting the great energy and efforts of nearly 6,000 walkers, 50,000 sponsors and hundreds of congregations. It is our way of saluting 70 some communities and leaders whose numbers are making a difference in stopping hunger. It is also our way of inviting your congregation and community to step out for emergency and long term self help solutions to the number one health crisis of our world—malnutrition.
Will your community be one of the 10 or more new communities walking in 2006 because millions must walk for all the basics of life?
For us, walking is not just another good gimmick to raise funds. CROP Walking is an act of solidarity with women and children worldwide who spend many of their waking hours walking for water, food, firewood, medical care and all the basics of life.
