This year we are again inviting people to join a fundraiser Walk for Mennonite Central Committee refugee relief programs this Sunday. A map will be provided for a two-mile loop (or shorter if you prefer) in downtown Harrisonburg, with two pause and reflect stations on the way.
Please enlist your friends and family members to join you and to help sponsor this event. Last year's Walk brought in over $!4,000 as a part of the Virginia Mennonite Relief Sale's "Sharing Our Surplus" (SOS) efforts to raise monetary support for urgent and ever growing needs around the world.
Refugees fleeing, famine, war, persecution and adverse climate and weather events must often walk for days or even weeks in search of refuge. We can show our support by doing all we can to help relieve their suffering. And here's a link you can share on Facebook and elsewhere:
