Outreach
Habitat for Humanity: Good News House
Calvary's May 18 service will be all about Habitat for Humanity and our participation in the Good News House this year. We will have a collection to benefit Habitat in addition to our noisy "Klatter Kollection" all May.
Calvary's first work day at the Good News House will be Saturady, June 7 and we'll plan at least one week day workday also. The house will be built on Firwood St. in Ypsilanti near the Good News House that we participated in a couple of years ago. Our 2008 Partner Family will be Karen Toosen and children Quentin and Janai.
CROP
Walk
The
Washtenaw CROP Walk is held annually
(October 7, 2007) to raise awareness of hunger needs locally
and world wide. When the new walk is set up, you will be able to click here to register online to walk or donate to this year's CROP Walk. This fund raiser and hunger awareness helps support
many
local
food
pantries and meal programs for those in need in Ann Arbor and Washtenaw
County, with 25% of the monies staying locally and the balance going
to regional and world wide hunger relief programs. CROP
WALKS help
to support the overall ministry of Church World Service, especially
the grassroots, hunger-fighting development efforts of partner agencies
in more than 80 countries. CROP WALKS help to provide tools of hope
that empower people to meet their own needs. From seeds and tools,
to well sand water systems, to nutrition-enhancing Moringa trees, to
technical training and micro-enterprise loans, the key is people working
together to identify their own development priorities, their strengths
and their needs-- something CWS has learned through more than 50 years
of working in partnership around the world. Join the Calvary CROP Walkers and help us raise money to to feed the hungry and alleviate poverty!
