Dear Team Leaders, CROP Walkers and Friends:

Although we are still waiting for results from one or two of our teams, I wanted to get the results of the 2016 CROP Walk out to you before too much time has passed.

This year, to date, we have raised $ 7,079.00. This is $ 2,467.00 short of our total last year and far short of our goal of raising $ 10,000.00 this year. I am hoping that as the last donations come in we can all dig a little deeper to close that gap and make good on our pledge to help those less fortunate than ourselves. When we listen to the news of storms here at home, as well as humanitarian disasters around the world, we should to be reminded that it is our obligation as Christians to reach out to help. You can be sure that the Church World Service is actively working right now to bring relief to many of these suffering people.

If you haven’t already contributed, please consider going to our web page at https://www.crophungerwalk.org/elktonmd/Member/MyPage/753128/jeffrey-gillespie and making a secure donation. If you have already given, but feel that you could do a little more, please consider logging in on the web page and making another donation. Any donation, no matter how modest, will help bring relief to someone who is suffering today.

As an incentive, I can offer a 2016 CROP Walk tee shirt to anyone who makes an on-line donation of $ 25.00 or more by the end of next week. Just come back to me with your address after you have registered your pledge and I will deliver the tee shirt to you.

Once again, I thank all of you for your kind attention and for your support of the Cecil County CROP Hunger walk.

Blessings:

Jeff
