For the past 40 years or so, our church has been walking each spring or fall to help raise money for Church World Service (CWS) and their worldwide campaign to help end hunger. CWS does this by providing non-sectarian expertise on the ground in all corners of the world to assist in building up food infrastructure and community rebuilding and resilience. A portion of the money we raise in our walk will also stay local and go to our food shelf.
The walk is Sunday, October 11 at 1 pm! We’ll gather at 12:30 for a little socializing and registering. We’ll have freshly baked brownies and crisp apples to eat.
Here you will find information on 1) how to be a walker and 2) how to be a donor.
- A majority of our fundraising this year will be done online. For the first time since we’ve been doing this, there is no envelope to pick up or hand in. If you want to walk with us on October 11 at 1 pm, register on our walk website (https://www.crophungerwalk.org/waterburyvt/). Once there you will have the opportunity to register, which involves the usual name and address. You will also have a Covid-19 disclaimer to accept. It will ask you for a password, which means that if you want to check out your fundraising progress, you’ll need to remember/record it. The final step in registration is to make yourself a donation.
- If you are not walking but would like to contribute, go to the same site (https://www.crophungerwalk.org/waterburyvt/), and instead of clicking on the register button, click on the donate button. There your options or to donate to the team (our church) in general, or a specific walker. You can pay by PayPal or regular credit card. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
It’s that easy! I hope you can join us!
