On Sunday, Oct. 8th, thirteen churches in Barry County partnered with Church World Service and raised $12,233.90.  Ninety two adults, youth and children gathered at Grace Lutheran Church in Hastings to walk for helping to assist families who have needs both locally and globally.  Twenty five percent of the money collected will be divided equally to five food programs in Barry County and Church World Service will use the remainder to aid families dealing with diasters in the U.S. and around the world. The five local programs; Barry County Cares, Community Food Pantry at Middleville United Methodist Church, Good Food for Freeport, Maple Valley Community Center for Hope and the Hastings Food Pantry, each will receive a little over $600 to help families with food.
