The Goessel Area Crop Walk for the hungry is scheduled for Sunday, October 3 at 1:30 p.m. Remember people who are in the danger of malnutrition or even starvation as you contemplate Walking or giving a Donation for the walk. Contact: Bob & Kathy Woelk, for a CROP WALKER ENVELOPE and begin inviting sponsors. We encourage payment at the time commitments are made, or at least before WALK Sunday. Make your checks out to MCC or CWS, depending on where you would like to designate your funds. Turn in your t-shirt size to your recruiter. * Let's help end hunger one step at a time! We are in need of some more Business Sponsors for t-shirts that we would like to present to the Walkers. If you would like your Business logo printed on the back of the t-shirts, please send a $25.00 or more donation to Denise Nickel, P. O. Box 173, Goessel, KS 67053 (please make the check payable to Denise Nickel; you will receive a receipt).

It's time for MCC School Kits! The MCC warehouses are extremely low on school kits and MCC has already received requests for over 40,000 school kits from partner organizations around the world. The next time you're out running errands, pick up the supplies for an MCC School Kit! The complete list and instructions for making a school kit bag can be found at mcc.org/kits/school.
