WRITE A LETTER TO FIGHT POVERTY & HUNGER

The Social Justice Group of FUMC invites members of our church family to participate in the 2010 Bread for the World Offering of Letters following services on March 21, 2010.  

Every year, Bread for the World invites churches across the country to take up an Offering of Letters to Congress on an issue that is important to hungry people. This year, a series of tax cuts enacted in recent years will expire.   Bread for the World is asking Congress to protect and strengthen key tax credits that help low-income workers and their families meet their living expenses.  The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a refundable tax credit geared primarily toward families with children.  The Child Tax Credit (CTC) also helps lower-income families. 

Bread for the World is a nation wide Christian citizen’s movement that today involves about 2,500 Churches.  The organization works in a bipartisan way advocating for the poor and hungry in the halls of Congress.
