Get involved
Each
year friends and neighbors in some 2,000 communities across the U.S. join
in locally-organized, interfaith CROP
Hunger Walks that help support
the work of Church World Service around the world and in the U.S. CROP Hunger
Walks return some $4 million a year - up to 25 percent of what they raise
- for the hunger alleviation efforts of food banks, pantries, and community
gardens in their own cities and towns. Call 1-888-CWS-CROP or visit www.cropwalk.org.
Through
the CWS Tools & Blankets
Program and by preparing CWS Health,
School, Baby, and Kids Kits, congregations and
groups across the country are equipping neighbors around the world to meet
their own immediate needs and gain self-sufficiency. Please contact your
CWS regional office at 1-888-CWS-CROP.

world. We invite you to join our growing community of support by mailing
