Hi {{firstName}},
Thank you for registering for the CROP Hunger Walk! Your commitment to fighting global hunger and poverty is incredibly powerful, and with the harmful policies from the new administration threatening to make these issues even worse, your action is more urgent than ever before!

Now is the time to take the next step: recruit others to join your Walk team and start fundraising immediately. Every step and every dollar raised is crucial to supporting families who need it most.

The administration's new executive orders and policies are making it harder for vulnerable communities, especially those affected by hunger and poverty, to access resources. Cuts to foreign aid mean CWS is the only lifeline for some families. 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—start fundraising today and recruit 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 4 tips to get started!
