SUMMARY:CROP Walk is Coming!
DESCRIPTION:Consider  the following – \n            Areas in Africa are now taking food from the hungry to feed the starving \n            Global hunger is exacerbated by climate change\, COVID-19 and conflict or war \n            About 3.1 billion people could not afford a healthy diet n 2020 \n\n It can be hard to understand the food insecurity faced by others when we have relatively easy access to food\, can get water with the turn of a handle and can choose to skip a meal if we want.  Stepping up and stepping out is one way to be a part of the solution to lessening the grip that hunger has on so many people. \nWith fingers crossed and prayers being raised – the 2022 Battle Creek Hunger Walk is happening on September 25\, 2022 in our lovely Leila Arboretum.  There is a sense of excitement as 8 local churches will gather and walk with the goal of raising money that will help fight hunger challenges around the world.  Additionally\, 25% of the total money raised will be donated to 3 local programs – Urbandale SDA Food Pantry/Salvation Army Meals\, SHARE Center and Second Missionary Baptist’s New Vision Outreach Ministry. Walk Registration will start at 2:30 with the Walk beginning at 3:00 and ending around 4:00/4:30. \nHow can you help? \n\nDonate on-line at www.crophungerwalk.org/battlecreekmi – (look for the First Pres Team)\nDonate to a First Pres Walker (Mary Burg\, Joy Miller\, Jackie Wells\, Kathy Baker) or look for posters by the Elevator and Parlor Bulletin Boards to see who is else might be walking and taking donations\nChecks are encouraged –Made out to CWS/CROP   or First Presbyterian Church/memo linee CWS/CROP  •Donation deadline: October 7\, 2022\nPray for all who are helping to make a difference in hunger programs at the local and international level.\n\nQuestions/Additional information: Contact Kathy Baker/964-6642.
