New York City CROP Hunger Walk |

We walk because others must walk…for water, food and other basic necessities. |

Twenty-five percent of the funds raised by the New York City CROP Hunger Walk will go to local hunger fighting programs such as food pantries and soup kitchens. The 2008 local recipients are: Advent Lutheran Food Pantry and Community Lunch Christ and St. Stephen Episcopal Brown Bag St. Bartholomew’s Community Ministry St. Ignatius of Antioch Episcopal Soup Kitchen St. Mary’s Episcopal Food Pantry and Outreach Saint Peter’s Lutheran Breakfast Program Trinity Lutheran Creative Learning Center Village Church United Methodist Hope for Neighbors in Need West Side Campaign Against Hunger The following three local recipients have links to their web sites:

Hope for our Neighbors in Need is a feeding, information, referral and empowerment ministry of The Village Church, through which we identify and respond in a qualitative manner to the critical needs of our neighbors in both the East and West Village of Lower Manhattan. |
|
Through a supermarket style food pantry, WSCAH alleviates hunger and creates a culture that promotes self-reliance and works for change. |
|
Our mission is to provide for the basic needs of others and further the opportunity for growth and self-sufficiency that can only happen when hunger and rest are satisfied. |

Advent Lutheran Community Lunch and Food Program |
|
Advent’s Food Pantry is a once-a-month program that distributes a bag of groceries (rice, pasta, canned vegetables, tuna and a couple of “heat and eat meals”) to anyone who shows up, no questions asked. On the 4th Saturday of every month from 12-1pm, anyone in need of a good home-cooked meal is invited to be a guest at a sit-down lunch.
