One of the ways First UU supports anti-hunger efforts is through the annual Reading-Berks CROP Walk. A quarter of the funds raised stay local with the Berks Schuylkill Helping Harvest Fresh Food Bank, which benefits the monthly food pantry sponsored by our congregation.

First UU is a sponsor of the Reading-Berks CROP Walk, which will be held Sunday, Oct. 8, at Gring’s Mill along the Tulpehocken Creek. You can join the team or donate to it by going to the URL, https://events.crophungerwalk.org/2023 and enter “First UU Berks County” in the Search box. Questions can be directed to team captain Jim Beidler, jamesmbeidler@gmail.com or 717 507-7237.

The Reading-Berks walk is having a kickoff event on Thursday (7 September) at the Isaac’s in Spring Ridge, 94 Commerce Drive, Wyomissing. The CROP Walk earns 15% of your order (if you order online, enter “Fund” in the box on the payment page).

Thanks for your consideration and we’ll to see you as part of the team on Oct. 8!
