8 CALVIN SYNOD HERALD Cfioe tt'runufA JLtcal cAttixJt The annual Neighbors in Need allchurch offering, which is suggested this year for October 5, is your opportunity to help people in the U.S.A. who are less fortunate than yourself. This year’s offering will help three groups of such people. * Your gifts to NIN will assist people on welfare to better their lives now ... and in the future. Why should we help people who, it is assumed, are already being helped by government welfare programs paid for by our taxes? One problem is that many times our tax-supported help fails to reach persons for whom it is intended. Your NIN gift will make available a listing to inform welfare recipients where to seek available aid which is designed to help them break out of the poverty cycle. The list will set forth agencies where victims of high rents can obtain legal aid, where mothers desiring to work can find jobtraining programs and day-care centers, and where emergency aid can be obtained when needed, unsnarled by red tape and bureaucratic delay. Your gift to NIN will bring people together to consider badly needed federal and state legislative changes to more effectively help fathers of welfare families break out of the present “no win” situation and, whenever possible, move off relief rolls. Your gift to NIN will be used to organize church and community education programs which will help us better to understand the truth about the welfare cycle and its victims. Your NIN gift is needed to do these things which are not made possible by taxsupported welfare programs. * Your gifts to NIN will help malnourished children, mothers and the elderly to obtain nutritious food. Malnutrition can permanently cripple a person. Yet even today here in the U.S.A. there are thousands of children who are not receiving enough food or nutritious food. Your NIN gift will help to support the Food Research and Action Center, a non-profit organization supported by major Protestant denominations and Roman Catholics, which identifies “bottle necks” in the administration of government-sponsored nutrition programs and acts to correct the situation. Your gift to NIN will also support local church and community volunteer programs for educating our nation’s poor regarding food aid which is presently available to them by law but which they are not receiving. * Your gifts to NIN will help to enable elderly people to secure the rights and dignity of senior citizens. Recently, the United Church Board for Homeland Ministries provided funds to partially support two highly successful pilot programs to aid impoverished elderly citizens in combating injustices of a variety of kinds in Minneapolis, MN, and Philadelphia,PA. Your NIN gift will be used to initiate similar programs in five other areas of the U.S. to protect the elderly from exploitation as they seek adequate food, housing, medical care — and dignity. The Neighbors in Need programs are administered by existing agencies of the United Church of Christ. Your generous response is both needed and appreciated.
