Upcoming Community Events
WALK FOR WATER
Around the world, more than 2.2 billion people do not have access to safe water. In many countries, women and children walk more than three miles to gather water for their families. Oftentimes, the water collected is unsafe to drink.
But there is hope.
Join us for the 2023 Walk for Water-Central PA. Together, we will raise funds and awareness to fight the global water crisis by building safe water solutions for people in need around the world. Last year, our congregation was apart of bringing almost 1.6 million people cleaner water, and overall better hygiene that they wouldn’t have had access to before. This includes, (but was not limited to) 945,299 families who specifically needed safe water, and 30,982 families who were in need of sanitation solutions,
We walk, so others don’t have to.
The event will be held on April 29th beginning at 9AM.
