CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES ~ FARMERS SUPPORTING FARMERS
January 13 from 8:30-10:30 a.m. ~ St. Patrick Church, Enfield
Join us for continental breakfast and discussion on how rural communities and others in the United States can partner with farmers and rural communities around the world. Representatives from Farmer to Farmer and Growing Hope Globally will tell how to get involved with their programs. Farmer to Farmer sends U.S.-based volunteers to developing countries to support farmers and agribusiness professionals with hands-on training. Growing Hope Globally links the grassroots energy and commitment of rural communities in the U.S. to raise funds for farming programs in developing countries. These programs provide lasting solutions to hunger. Both of these programs are partnered with Catholic Relief Services. RSVPs are appreciated to help with meal planning. Contact Cheryl Sommer at crsdiobelle@gmail.com or 618-624-2838 or you can let Rachel know in the office.
