Reminder: CROP Walk for Hunger

It's coming! Sixth Church walks on Sunday, October 11 at 2:00 p.m., starting from the South Avenue United Methodist Church in Wilkinsburg and walking through the neighborhoods of the East End to raise money for the hunger and refugee work of Church World Service.

Want to help? You can be a walker, or you can sponsor a walker with your pledge.

Here are a few examples of programs supported through the CROP Walk:

• A network of rural cooperatives in Haiti are working together to create economic security and sustainable food sources for their families.

• Women in 19 rural communities in Nicaragua are developing funds to promote local development and food security initiatives.

Pledge through the online donation site for our Pittsburgh East Walk -- or sign up to sponsor a walker any Sunday morning after worship.
