Congratulations to Russell Chapel on a history filled with flexibility, creativity, passion, compassion, and energy to these 3 women and the volunteers who have made this 25 years a fulfillment of God's promise (or charge) to Edith.

UPDATE on our 2025 CROP Hunger Walk:
We are still collecting donations toward our goal!
As of November 12, we have raised just shy of $24,000 for Church World Service and our local partners, Loaves & Fishes Soup Kitchen, 5th St Christian's Feed the Community Program, and the Russell Chapel and Destiny Food Pantries. We are still quite a bit short of our goal of $30,000 and also short of matching our 2024 total of $26,442.67.
We know that these times are difficult and financially uncertain, and we appreciate your support thus far. We will be collecting donations until December 31. If you haven't been able to give yet, or you know someone to reach out to, please donate at https://events.crophungerwalk.org/crophungerwalks/event/columbiamo
Thank you.
