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.

| LWR 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
International,
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. |

| LWR 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.
