MAKING A DIFFERENCE
You truly can make a difference! By
participating in the Birmingham CROP Hunger Walk, you can
help put an end to world hunger and poverty. You are invited
to get involved and join your community in doing something
tangible to address this critical humanitarian issue. You
are encouraged to organize a team and begin raising funds.
Your team may consist of the members of your family, a group
of your friends, your neighbors, your co-workers, the
members of a club or organization you belong to, or members
of your church, synagogue, temple, or mosque.
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."
"It's time for
greatness,
not greed.
It's a time for
idealism,
not ideology.
It is a time
not just for
compassionate
words, but for
compassionate
action."
-MARIAN WRIGHT

"Overcoming
poverty
is
not a gesture
of charity.
It is an act of
justice.
It is the
protection
of
a fundamental
human right,
the right to
dignity and a
decent life."
-NELSON MANDELA

"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."
