Grants Available to Help Feed The Hungry

The Alan Shaw Feinstein Foundation has pledged $1,000,000 to be divided proportionally among non-profit organizations that work to feed the hungry. You are invited to raise funds during March and April to meet hunger needs in your local community--either on your own, as a congregation, or in cooperation with a local food pantry. At the end of April, a report including how much money was raised, how many people were involved in the fund raising, and how many people donated must be submitted. All who raise funds during March and April to meet local hunger needs and file a report will receive a portion of the $1,000,000 to benefit their local effort.

If there is a chance you may want to participate in this project, please register your interest by December 20 with Joyce Carter at joyceanncarter3@hotmail.com or call (352) 637-0206. Registration does not commit you to anything, but leaves the door open for participation for you or your congregation.

Joyce, a church member from Rhode Island, is volunteering her time to work on behalf of the Community of Christ World Hunger Committee to coordinate this ministry. Joyce will notify all who register of deadlines and specific procedures, as well as help with the brief required report.

Questions can be directed to Joyce at joyceanncarter3@hotmail.com or (352) 637-0206, or Ken Schnell, World Church stewardship commissioner, at kschnell@CofChrist.org or 1-800-825-2806, ext. 3073.
