ICPJ & Crop Walk History
Since 1975 we have organized the annual Washtenaw County CROP Hunger Walk as an interfaith response to local and world hunger. Over the last 28 years walkers from some 50 area congregations and schools have raised more than one million dollars to assist both local and international agencies in relieving hunger and addressing its root causes. ICPJ works closely with Bread for the World in education, action and advocacy efforts; provides resources for congregations and groups doing programs about world hunger; and cooperates with area agencies in raising community awareness and soliciting funds.

“Faith & Food”- focus on local hunger
Find out about this unique collaboration among ICPJ’s Hunger Task Force, Food Gatherers and Growing Hope to promote local congregational gardens to feed the hungry!
Advocate with Bread For The World
Join us for a Hunger Legislation Workshop!
Advocate for hunger relief in an “Offering of Letters,”a Bread For The World project in which congregations and individuals write letters to legislators in support of specific hunger legislation. Learn how to bring an “Offering of Letters” event back to your congregation – an easy way to make a big difference toward ending hunger throughout the world. Free and open to the public. For more information call 487-9058 or email wolverbob@yahoo.com. For more information about Bread For The World, and the 2008 Offering of Letters, visit www.bread.org.
Sponsored by Bread For The World, a non-partisan, Christian, hunger legislation and education organization.
