Our community's "Ending Hunger One Step at a Time" Walk is just around the corner! Many dedicated recruiters have spent the past few weeks inspiring and energizing their congregations to participate in the Greater Lex. CROP Hunger Walk. Their spirit of service has not only motivated church members but also their families, friends, co-workers, neighbors to Walk as a witness to fight hunger and poverty and to raise funds for our local God's Pantry and Church World Service.GOOD NEWS! We already have $2,090 donations on www.cropwalkonline.org! It is very hopeful that we can reach, or maybe even surpass our $22,000 goal since our fundraising will continue for another month!
