We did not know what to expect this year with the pandemic and a virtual CROP Walk. The response we have received from this church and its friends is way beyond our wildest hopes! The UU Walkers are an awesome team: Karen Folk, Jennifer Greene, Michele Grove, Jody Hanger, Sandy Hannum, AJ Herzog, Michaela Kruse, Pat McClard, Jean Peters, and Karen Retzer. This team brought in $5,390 in online donations, plus some checks which are not yet counted. Phenomenal!

In a normal year, we raise just over $3,000. I know that our church is extraordinarily generous, and really steps up in times of crisis. Here we have seen it again, and my heart is bursting with gratitude. Thank you all for your compassion and caring. You have done a great deal to help people suffering from hunger and poverty because of COVID, and devastated by disastrous wildfires and hurricanes in other parts of the country.

Heartfelt thanks to this most generous congregation!
