CROP WALK<br />
The annual CROP Walk to raise money for the<br />
food needs of Africa will take place May<br />
22. This event is supported by the Greater<br />
Woodbury Cooperative Ministries. Twenty five<br />
percent (25%) of all money collected will stay<br />
in our area to help our food Pantry.<br />
The event consists of a walk on Sunday afternoon from<br />
Mantua Methodist Church in Mantua to St. Stephen’s<br />
Lutheran Church in Woodbury. Participants are asked to<br />
get sponsors and/or make a contribution. The concept<br />
comes from the fact that in many African villages, families<br />
have to walk a significant distance every day simply to<br />
carry water to their homes. Obviously the monies<br />
collected are used to improve food and water supplies for<br />
people in Africa.<br />
The CROP Walk gives us a chance to work for a social<br />
justice issue, and in the process get some healthy<br />
exercise. If you are interested in participating in the<br />
CROP Walk, call Jerry or Jean Washko 845-6944.<br />
