Hunger on Our Doorstep
is a resource for local congregations in
communities of all sizes. 2-hour training workshops with facilitator:
August 28 in Milwaukee and Madison, August 30-Appleton, and
August 31-Tomah. This resource was funded in part by an American
Baptist Domestic Development Grant and a grant from Housing
Ministries of American Baptists of Wisconsin and produced
by the Wisconsin Council of Churches. Hunger is an issue in
all communities. Congregations can study the needs in their
community and then work together to respond to those needs.
For more detailed information about the facilitator training
for your congregation or community leaders e-mail wcoc@wichurches.org.
The Wisconsin Council of Churches will come to your community
if five or more congregations wish to be trained.
