    OTHER GREAT ORGANIZATIONS TO CHECK OUT:


    THE ONE CAMPAIGN - a new effort to rally Americans, ONE by ONE , to fight global AIDS and extreme poverty.
    BREAD FOR THE WORLD - a nonpartisan citizens' movement of 54,000 people of faith, including 2,500 churches, to end hunger.
    SOCIETY OF ST. ANDREW - an ecumenical ministry that feeds the hungry all year long by saving fresh, nutritious produce that would otherwise go to waste because of market reasons and giving it to the needy.
    THE HUNGER SITE - enables visitors to click the "give free food" button and help feed the hungry. The staple food is paid for by site sponsors and is distributed to those in need.
    FEEDING AMERICA - formerly "America's Second Harvest," this is the nation's largest domestic hunger relief organization, distributing food to 26 million hungry Americans each year through a network of 200 food banks.


    ..SOME HUNGER FACTS..

    ..IN SURRY COUNTY..:


    47% of children in city & county schools receive either reduced or free lunches.

    14.3% of county residents live in poverty ("poverty" defined as four-person household with annual income of $20,000 or less).

    20.4% of county's children live in poverty.


    ..IN THE UNITED STATES..:

    Thirty three Americans including thirteen million children live in households that experience hunger or the risk of hunger.

    If all 33 million Americans faced with food insecurity stood in line at a food pantry in New York City, the line would stretch to Los Angeles and back. Twice!

    The United States spends $10 billion annually on foreign aid. Americans spend $33 billion each year on diet and weight loss products.

    “It wasn’t my turn.” The response of a U. S. child whose teacher asked if he had eaten breakfast that morning.


    ..AROUND THE WORLD..:

    Every six seconds, a child in the world dies of hunger.

    Over 850 million people are undernourished---nearly three fourths of them live in rural farming communities.

    Six million children under age five die each year as a result of hunger.

    One in seven children born in countries where hunger is most common will die before age five.

    1.2 billion people in developing countries live on an income of $1 per day or less.

    “Poverty is like living in jail, living in bondage, waiting to be free.” Quote from poor person in Jamaica.

    “What is poverty? To come home and see your children go hungry and not have anything to give them.” Quote from a poor person in Brazil.

    “Being poor is being always tired.” Quote from a poor person in Kenya.

    “Lack of work worries me. My children were hungry and I told them the rice is cooking, until they fell asleep from hunger.” Quote from a mother in Egypt.

Hakkımda:

..

Picture this: it's a beautiful fall Sunday afternoon and a crowd of folks are gathered at Veterans Park. They come from all “walks of life” in our community. They are church groups (of all denominations) and scout troops; mens Bible classes and community swim teams. They are civic organizations and grade school classes; youth groups and concerned individuals.

They're gathered for one purpose – to raise funds and awareness for hunger and poverty issues, both local and worldwide. Over the past few weeks they've solicited sponsors for donations.

Around 3:30pm, the 5K walk begins - which takes them on a pre-determined course around town, concluding back at the park. Some of the funds stay local to support Yokefellow Ministries, while some goes to international relief efforts through Church World Service. But it's about more than just the money – they also take a stand in our community, raising awareness about hunger and poverty issues that affect millions, evidenced by all who witness them walking around town wearing their CROP Hunger Walk t-shirts. And in so doing, these folks truly make a difference.

Sound exciting? It is! This is what the annual Mount Airy CROP Hunger Walk looks like. There are over 2000 communities across the country who hold these walks every year, raising in excess of $270 million over the past 20 years. We sincerely hope you’ll consider becoming part of future walks in Mount Airy. Please check out this site and the blogs to learn how you can be part of this special event.

We really can make a difference. WE WALK BECAUSE THEY WALK!

    Hello~

    At Redding California Loaves and Fishes we believe the world is not looking for a better sermon on Christian Love, but a better demonstration of it !

    We are against practices and laws that unfairly single out homeless people and criminalize them for everyday living and life-sustaining activites.

    Dear Crop Hunger Walk of Mount Airy: Thank you for YourFriendship. My eight-year-old-peace-activist son Axil's quest for World Peace Before 2021 is gaining momentum! I'm so proud of him. Please embrace him AND his song "World Peace Before 2021" which he sings beautifully. His performance can be seen on MySpace, his webpage www. worldpeacebefore2021. com and/or YouTube (by searching his name Axil Kollist.) It is my intention to post a new video of him singing his song every few months so people can watch his talent grow as impressively as the momentum for his quest! I'm sharing two photos with you. The first is of my son distributing his free world peace bumperstickers and the second photo is of him singing his song “World Peace Before 2021” at Maui's Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Day Festivities in January 08. By all means, email Axil if you’d like him to mail you one of his free “World Peace Before 2021” bumpersticker or if you’d like to invite him to sing for your function. His email address is worldpeacebefore2021@hawaii.rr.com .Very best regards, Axil Kollist’s mom

    Thank you! I love CROP Hunger Walks! I've helped to start one in Western NC and have helped the one in Fayetteville double in size -- it really is God blessing the efforts of many volunteers. 2007 will be the 20th Walk in Fayetteville. Walkers can make a difference! Keep up the Walking in Mt. Airy!
