Come to one of the Recruiter Rallies to pick
up your
CROP Walk materials.
Each rally lasts
about 45 minutes with a brief overview of the work of
ChurchWorld Service, Hunger Task Force and the CROP Hunger Walk.
Also, you will see a portion of the most recent CROP Hunger Walk
video and pick up your very important CROP Hunger Walk
materials. These rallies also give you an opportunity to meet
other CROP Coordinators and to approach CROP Hunger Walk staff
and volunteers with your questions, concerns and suggestions.
Please contact us to
indicate which rally you will be attending so we will have an
idea of how many people to expect at each site.
If you cannot attend
any of these rallies you will need to pick up your materials
from the
Interfaith Conference at 5409 W. Vliet St. Milwaukee.
If you have any questions please call Nicole Carver at
(414) 276-9050 or

About 485 Interfaith
Conference friends and supporters bought tickets to the
first-ever
Interfaith Day at Miller Park on July 27 as part of the continuing
celebration of our 40th anniversary year. The weather
was much hotter than the Brewers’ pitching and batting, but our
people looked cool in their green Interfaith t-shirts. We collected
non-perishable food donations for the Hunger Task Force. And
Episcopal Bishop Steven Miller, chair of the Interfaith Conference
Cabinet (our board of directors) threw one of the symbolic first
pitches before the start of the Brewers-Reds game.

event. To see a YouTube video of Bishop Miller pitching,
