Harvest of Hope from the Society of St. Andrew

Harvest of Hope is the ecumenical study, worship, and mission retreat program of the Society of St. Andrew. We have a local office of this gleaning organization and Adam Graham has informed us of an opportunity for an intergenerational retreat for your church or group this fall. Participants learn about domestic and global hunger. Through a variety of educational tools, coupled with the physical labor of gleaning, they begin to see that one person really can make a difference. The nondenominational worship helps bring into focus the relationship between faith and service to the poor. Participants from many different faith traditions join together in worship, showing love by their unity. There will be a unique intergenerational weekend retreat harvesting apples, September 20-22, at Pinnacle Retreat Center in Clayton. Find out more.

What to do

Call your U.S. Representative and urge them not to accept the Senate version of the budget reconciliation bill without amendments that:
1. Protect vulnerable populations by restoring or preserving funding for food assistance, healthcare, housing, education, and childcare.
2. Avoid placing new, unfunded administrative burdens on states and nonprofits.
3. Retain programs that are essential to local jobs, services, and economic resilience in communities across your district, including Inflation Reduction Act funding.
Reach out to local officials to speak about the economic harm involved, and ask them to speak out against provisions that harm your nonprofit as an employer and contributor to the local economy.
Mobilize your network to do the same. Every voice counts!
