It's Almost Here!

Just a few more days until the CROP Hunger Walk in Ventura. If at all possible, try to collect your pledges to turn-in on the day of the Walk - the money will be used sooner AND we will all have less paperwork to deal with during the Easter, Passover, and Spring Break weeks ahead!

Don't forget to collect and bring canned foods - they will go to our local food pantries on Monday. Here's the list of what is needed most:


• Tuna
• Peanut butter
• Jelly
• Powdered milk
• Canned vegetables
• Pasta & pasta sauce
• Canned & dried beans
• Breakfast cereals
• Soups (canned soups- not ramen)
• Rice

CROP Hunger Walk Canned Food Drive

Walking raises money and hunger awareness. Bringing canned food on the day of the walk will help feed people in our city right away AND raise a bit more money because of the Feinstein Foundation $1 Million Campaign to Fight Hunger. This is the eleventh year the Feinstein Foundation has issued it's challenge and divided a million dollars among all the anti-hunger fundraisers around the country each spring.
So whether you walk or not, please deliver, or ask someone to deliver, food to Trotter Hall at First United Methodist on Sunday, April 13th. Any non-perishible will be appreciated but the following food items are most desired at the Project Understanding and Catholic Charities food pantries in Ventura:

• Tuna
• Peanut butter
• Jelly
• Powered milk
• Canned vegetables
• Pasta & pasta sauce
• Canned & dried beans
• Breakfast cereals
• Soups (canned soups- not ramen)
• Rice
