Church World Service is SIXTY years young!

Church World Service was born in the aftermath of World War II in 1946.  35 Protestant, Orthodox, and Anglican denominations came together to form an agency "to do together what none of us could hope to do as well alone." 

Their mission was clear: Feed the hungry, Clothe the  naked, Heal the sick, Comfort the aged, and Shelter the homeless.  Working in partnership with indigenous organizations in more than 80 countries, CWS works worldwide to meet human needs and foster self-reliance for all whose way is hard.

Within the United States, Church World Service assists communities in responding to disasters, resettles refugees, promotes fair national and international policies, provides educational resources, and offers opportunities to join a people-to-people network of local and global caring through participation in CROP Walks, the Tools & Blankets Program, and the "Gift of the Heart" Kit Program.   Click on any of these links to learn more about each.

With Fall fast approaching, it's the time for our CROP Walks!  Consider joining a local CROP Walk near you!  Our updated acronym "CROP" now stands for Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty."  Don't delay - be an active participant now!
