CROP Hunger Walk a huge success

 Thank you Bonners Ferry! The Bonners Ferry CROP
Hunger Walk was a huge success this
summer. $8,428.16 was contributed by our
neighbors and friends to support the
hunger-fighting efforts of Church World Service,
both here at home and around the world.
Our local food bank will receive approximately
$2,100 to aid fellow Bonners Ferry residence in
need, and some $6,300 will make possible the
global work of Church World Service.
Just think, the funds raised here in Bonners
Ferry and in CROP Hunger Walks across the U.S.
will make a difference in the lives of people
around the world -- from supplying clean water
to thirsty villages in Kenya, to aiding dairy
farmers in Bosnia, to assisting earthquake
survivors in Haiti as they rebuild their homes
and lives following massive devastation.
Again, thank you to all who worked so hard to
make this year’s CROP Hunger Walk such a
resounding success. Special kudos to Brad Buerge,
who raised $1,739.00, our #1 CROP Walker this
year, and to all the businesses that supported our
walk.
Volunteering, walking, donating -- we all have
shown that citizens of Bonners Ferry are truly
citizens of the world. See you next year at the
CROP Hunger Walk on June 8th at the Bonners
Ferry Middle School Track!
Thank you! |
