Fort Washington Food
Pantry -- For the
last twenty years, the Fort
Washington Food Pantry has provided food
to relieve hunger among the residents of our
community. Workers from Grace
Church pack donated groceries for needy families
on the second and third Saturday of each
month. For some recipients, the Food
Pantry will be the mainstay of their meals so
please remember to give items regularly.

Coffee and Tea -- Through Equal
Exchange you can purchase coffee or tea as
gifts for you and your loved ones. The coffee
and tea are fairly traded which avoids the
inequities found in the conventional coffee and
tea trade. Buy your coffee or tea in the
fellowship hall at church. |

Handcraft Project – The LWR
Handcraft Project helps improve wages and
working conditions for artisans in developing
countries through fair trade. The project
connects us with artisans in developing
countries. Their wages and working conditions
improve as they work with SERRV,
a fair trade organization that is LWR's project
partner. Their catalog, which includes products
such as nativities, Christmas ornaments, home
items and jewelry made in Africa, Asia, the
Middle East, Latin America and even part of the
USA, is available at church. |

| Fight
World Hunger Every Day – There’s a new way
to fight world hunger -- use your
computer. Just visit the
hunger site, click on the button
that says “Donate Food”, and read the
amount of staple food that will be donated with
your click. This website was created by
the U.N. World Food Program (the world’s largest
food aid organization working in 80
countries). Corporate sponsors donate to
the WFP according to the number of hits the site
gets each day. Each visitor to the site is
allowed only one click per day. Please
mark the site, visit it daily and spread the
word!! |

Project -- Stand
With Africa is a three-year campaign to
support African churches and communities as they
withstand AIDS, banish hunger, and build
peace. HIV/AIDS is the focus of
Stand With Africa during its first year.
The challenge of AIDS in Africa seems
overwhelming, but there is also much hope.
We will have opportunities to learn more about
both the needs of the African people and the
ways Lutherans are already involved in the
Campaign of Hope. |
