BFW to hold training session

Bread For The World (BFW) will be holding a training session for its 1989 Offering of Letters, which is a drive to increase funding for the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC). The Offering of Letters is an excellent way for churches and other organizations interested in fighting hunger to become more involved. The training session will be held on March 16th from 7:30 pm until 9 pm at the Memorial Christian Church, 730 Tappan. For more information call 487-9058 or 663-1870.

PURPOSE: Bread For The World is a national citizen's lobbying organization that deals with hunger and health-related legislation . Although BFW does not send direct aid itself, it has given, through its members, crucial support to domestic and international hunger programs since its founding in 1971. Members are encouraged to contact their legislators on hunger issues, and are kept informed through newsletters, background papers, and informational meetings about pertinent legislation.

VOLUNTEERS: Bread For The World is very much in need of volunteers to help with letter writing drives in connection with efforts to increase WIC funding. If you can help, please attend the monthly meetings or call 487-9058 or 663-1870.

MEETINGS: BFW meets on the third Thursday of every month (next meeting, March 1 6th) at the Memorial Christian Church, 730 Tappan, starting at 7:30 pm. Meetings are held in conjunction with the Interfaith Council for Peace and Justice Hunger Task Force.
