VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION
In grateful recognition of the dedicated support of all our members and friends, we are once again arranging for a Volunteer Appreciation night. Pastor Jon is working with Diane and Peter from Van Rensselaer’s.
2026 CAPE COD HUNGER WALK
This is the seventh year that we are holding a CROP Hunger Walk. The money we raise supports local food pantries and the work of Church World Service.
Let me introduce you to Victorine. Victorine overcame years of conflict-related hardship and food insecurity by rebuilding her livelihood with the support of Church World Service. She lives in the Democratic Republic of Congo where she lived through the Kamwina Nsapu conflict losing both her husband and her brother. She was left alone with her nine children and her brother’s five children. When she returned home to damaged crops and abandoned fields hunger took hold quickly. Malnutrition left her feeling overwhelmed.
With the help of Church World Service and Alongside Hope she was able to buy enough food for her children. She received seeds from CWS and began growing her own food. She joined other women working in one another’s fields. With part of her assistance, she was able to clear a large field and grow more crops to ensure a stable food supply.
Her household now enjoys sufficient and diverse food. With her strength restored, Victorine now participates actively in community life and her children are back in school. Victorine’s journey shows that even in the hardest moments, hope can grow again with the right support.
This is just one story that shows how the work of Church World Service brings hope and transformation to communities around the world. Please consider supporting our CROP Hunger Walk. With your help we can truly change the world.
