YOU ARE INVITED
The Birmingham CROP Hunger Walk
is the community coming together to
raise money and awareness for hunger relief... locally and around the
world. Over 2000 CROP Walks happen every year nationwide.
Walkers are asked to obtain pledge dollars from family, neighbors,
colleagues and places of worship for their participation in a 5
kilometer walk (3.1 miles).
Everyone is invited to participate in the Birmingham CROP Hunger Walk.
It is a family walk event, not a race. It's fun for all ages.
It is a community event involving anyone who wants to fight hunger
around the block and around the world. The Birmingham CROP Hunger Walk
encourages the active involvement of teams and individuals from public
and private schools, civic and cultural groups, area businesses and all
faith groups.
There is no fee to participate. But each walker is encouraged to raise
at least $100. The Birmingham CROP Hunger Walk hopes to raise $30,000
in 2009.
And every walker gets a free CROP Walk t-shirt!

HELPING OTHERS
25% of the funds raised stay in the Birmingham area to support local
hunger and poverty fighting agencies. Specifically, the 2009 Birmingham
CROP Hunger Walk will support Greater Birmingham Ministries.
The remaining money is used to
alleviate hunger and poverty in 80 countries throughout the world.
In addition to assisting the homeless and impoverished families of the
Birmingham area, CROP helps families in the US and around the world who
are victims of disasters like Hurricane Katrina, refugees in Darfur, the Tsunami of
Indonesia, and African refugees fleeing war and famine in countries like
Sudan or Niger.
CROP also supports long-term development projects in the world's poorest
communities... projects which can break the cycle of hunger and poverty
like agricultural training, health clinics, micro-businesses, schools,
and fresh water wells in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
CROP Hunger Walks are neighbors walking together to take a
stand against hunger in our world. Together we raise
awareness and funds for international relief and
development, as well as local hunger-fighting.
CROP Hunger Walks help
to support the overall ministry of Church World
Service, especially the grassroots,
hunger-fighting development efforts of partner
agencies in some 80 countries.
CROP Hunger Walks help to provide tools of hope
that empower people to meet their own needs.
From seeds and tools, to wells and water
systems, 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
some 60 years of working in partnership around
the world.

“I
slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and
saw that life was service. I acted and behold
service was Joy.”
-RABINDRANATH
TAGORE
"Meaningfulness begins with recognizing that you
are not alone, that you are a part of the human
community, that everything you do sends a ripple
through the entire human family. Allow your
natural compassion to suggest creative ways that
you can serve this family of yours. Meaning is
not found in acquisition, but in feeling
ourselves a part of something greater."
-LAURENCE

"Be servants
of peace . . . Weep with those who are
sorrowful, rejoice with those who are joyful.
Teach those who are ignorant. Care for those
who are sick. Serve your family . . . Serve
your neighbors . . . Serve your cities . . .
Serve the poor. Join others who serve. For in
the end it will be the servants who lead us
all."
