The Third Presbyterian church annual CROP Walk will be held on sunday May 7th starting at 1:30pm from church.

FACTS FOR ACTION

• 840 million people are undernourished worldwide - about equal to the population of the Western Hemisphere.
• 1.2 billion people in developing countries live on $1 a day or less.
• 70% of those who suffer from hunger are women and girls.
• 6 million children under age five die each year as a result of hunger.
• More than 33 million U.S. citizens - one in ten households - cannot afford to meet their basic food needs. If they all stood in a line at a food pantry in New York, the line would stretch to Los Angeles and back. Twice.
• One in five U.S. children is born into poverty. One in seven has no health insurance.

TOGETHER WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE

• Child survival programs
  Using simple, inexpensive health formulas save millions of lives.
• International advocacy campaigns to reduce debt have yielded substantial results. For example, with debt relief of $3 billion, Tanzania eliminated elementary school fees. Almost overnight, 1.6 million children returned to school!
• The power of money:

• $15 can provide a hoe, shovel and vegetable seeds to a farmer in West Africa.
• $25 can provide 5 warm blankets to a refugee family.
• $50 can provide a dozen chicks for egg production in the Caribbean.
• $175 can provide a family-sized tent for disaster victims.
