this letter to edit as you see fit. Letter to the Editor – Pre-CROP Hunger Walk – Sample 2
On Sunday afternoon, [date], my family and I would like to invite everyone
to join us for a brisk walk that'll be good for your heart, physically
and spiritually.
We're walking in the [event name] CROP Hunger Walk. CROP stands for Communities
Responding to Overcome Poverty, and the CROP Hunger Walk is a really great family
event - an opportunity for everyone to show that they really care about fighting
hunger and poverty, aiding refugees, and contributing to the vital self-help
developmental programs for which Church World Service has been known for over
60 years. Church World Service is working in some 80 countries around the world,
but 25 percent of what we raise by walking will go to [local agency/ies], to
help our neighbors right here in [community name].
Our afternoon of CROP Walking will help provide clean water wells, assist families
in the violence-torn Darfur region of Sudan, train some 300 women and men as
agricultural agents and community organizers on La Gonave Island, Haiti, and
assist families struggling to recover from disastrous floods in parts of Asia,
as well as across the central United States.
Please, come CROP Hunger Walking with us. Volunteer, sponsor a walker, or work
those muscles with your own congregation or group. Use the Web to be part of
the CROP Walk. Visit cropwalkonline.org to find out more. It really will make
a world of difference, and cant we all use a little more exercise?
For more information, please contact [local congregation or group that is willing
to provide info], or visit www.cropwalk.org.
