Special Offering for March 9th

This week’s second offering will support the Loaves & Fishes Growing Project of South Simcoe County (L&F). The Loaves & Fishes project grows crops wherein farmers donate land and labour, and donations from churches, individuals. Agribusinesses pay for the inputs. For every $1 donated to Loaves & Fishes, we produce about $2.50 from crops. These proceeds are then sent to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB) where they are further multiplied by matching government grants (up to 4:1). Canadian Foodgrains Bank is a partnership of Canadian churches and church-based agencies that work to support international programs and increase the involvement of Canadians in reducing global hunger on an immediate and sustainable basis. World Renew, being one of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank member agencies, accesses funds from the Canadian Foodgrains Bank for its food assistance programs. For more information, visit their website. 

Next week's special offering will be for the Lighthouse.
