September 21, 2018 - CAMP News: CROP - Author Reading - Community Meeting

Peter Keeble
 

CROP: Cultivating Community, One Project at a Time

by Debbie Woods

We are all strengthened by the community in which we live. CAMP Rehoboth Outreach Program (CROP) promotes this vision by cultivating relationships and partnering with local organizations that provide a variety of community benefits.

CROP recently helped at the International Student Outreach Program (ISOP), and it was enlightening. Not only was a delicious meal served to the visiting students, there was a bounty of food available for the students to take home. Students selected from a cornucopia of fresh fruits and vegetables—peaches, tomatoes, peppers, and more—to provide nourishing meals throughout the week. A second highlight was the camaraderie. Volunteers interacted with students from around the world—Moldova, Romania, Turkey, and more. The students worked on refining their English language skills and willingly shared about their homeland studies and their summer experiences in Rehoboth Beach.

Upcoming CROPportunities

CROP has a project for everyone! Come join us and cultivate community by strengthening relationships and the deep levels of connection between us all. If you are interested in participating in one of these projects, or would like more information, please email us.

Saturday, September 22
AIDS Walk Delaware

Saturday, October 20
Delaware Botanic Gardens Dagsboro, 8:30 a.m. to noon

We will be digging in, both metaphorically and literally, as CROP returns to the Delaware Botanic Gardens in Dagsboro. We will help to keep the momentum going as DBG continues to grow and become a world-class, inspirational, educational, and sustainable public botanic garden in southern Delaware. As an option, you can bring a brown-bag lunch and have a tour of the gardens and woodland afterwards.

Saturday, November 10
Rehoboth Beach Film Festival Cape Henlopen High School Lewes

The Rehoboth Beach Film Society promotes cinematic arts and provides educational and cultural enrichment for our community, and CROP is there to help. The volunteer team will assist with ticket taking and more. There will be several shifts throughout the day.

Tuesday, November 13
Food Bank of Delaware
Milford, 1 to 4 p.m.

The Food Bank of Delaware provides low and no-cost food to qualified programs throughout the greater Delaware region. CROP will once again be sorting and packing food so that families in need will have a happy and nourishing Thanksgiving holiday.▼
