This weeks’ food drive will benefit CROP Hunger Walk 2012

Members of the CROP Hunger Walk organizing team will be at the Attleboro Farmers Market this Saturday, 8-12 to promote the Sunday, October 21 walk that starts and ends at Capron Park, Attleboro. The walk supports the efforts of Church World Service in disaster relief, long term recovery, and self development.

The local walk is sponsored by the Attleboro Area Council of Churches, and a portion of the walk proceeds supports the Food ‘n Friends Soup Kitchens sponsored by the Council of Churches. They will have informational literature about the walk and give people an opportunity to make monetary donations, and will be glad to receive non-perishable food donations for the Food ‘n Friends program. Any checks for the CROP Walk should be made out to Church World Service.

We ask that you bring healthy non-perishable and not out-of -date food products. Food items such as soups, peanut butter, canned fruits and vegetables, pastas, sauces, canned meats and toiletries such as tooth paste, toilet paper, facial tissues, shampoo and soap are welcome. Cash or check donations will also be accepted.

When you make a donation you will be entered in a drawing to win a Kindle. A drawing will be held at the end of the season. For more information contact Virginia Flynn, AFM Pantry Coordinator, at stuflynn@gmail.com Rev. David Hill, dsh761@verizon.net, 508-222-1298.
