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!
