Solar cookers to empower women of poverty and their communities

From Minnesota-

Do you want to learn about an important way to put love into action?

One way to start is by attending the fourth annual Millennium Development Goals dinner sponsored by Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, according to organizers.

Members of Holy Trinity Church chose to raise funds to purchase solar cookers for women of poverty with this year’s dinner. Last year the dinner raised money for the International Falls homeless shelter called Servants of Shelter.

The roast pork dinner with all the trimmings will be offered from 5-7 p.m. Sept. 15 at the Bob Walls Memorial Union Hall in downtown International Falls. Tickets are $10 per person and can be purchased at City Drug, The Coffee Landing, The Coffee Lane, and Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. Call 283-8606 to reserve tickets before the dinner. To support the cause with a gift, send it to Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, P.O. Box 170, International Falls, MN 56649. Email to holytrinityif@frontiernet.net and our web page is www.ifhtec.org/.

All money collected from the dinner effort minus the cost of food will be sent to Episcopal Relief and Development — the national relief agency of the Episcopal Church of America. It provides relief and development funds to people of poverty globally and in the United States. ERD will determine where solar cookers are most needed.
