Hi {{firstName}},
Thank you again for registering for the CROP Hunger Walk!

Now is the time to build momentum. Invite others to join your Walk team and multiply your impact. Every step and every dollar raised helps create lasting change for families who need it most.

Current policies are making it harder for vulnerable communities, especially those affected by hunger and poverty, to access resources. For some families, CWS is the only lifeline. Families like Sebastiana’s in Timor Leste. She and her husband struggled to feed their family of six, but thanks to CWS-supported programs, they received three chickens, giving them a source of food and income.

We need your help to ensure even more families like hers don’t fall through the cracks.

Don’t wait to make an impact and invite others to your team. Together, we can raise the funds that provide critical support for families facing hunger, while pushing back against harmful policies that threaten their future.

{{firstName}}, no one person can change the entire world, but you can help transform the lives of 20, 50 or maybe 100 people like Sebastiana. Here are 5 tips to get started!
