Bake sales and carnivals are mainstays in the world of church fund-raising. Walk-a-thons are pretty dependable too, the long windup to get ready for them by soliciting sponsors ahead of time notwithstanding.

The Roanoke Valley Interfaith Hospitality Network is hosting its third annual walk-a-thon on Sunday, June 1, at 1 p.m., on the grounds of the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Salem. Individuals or teams of walkers are welcome to collect donations from sponsors. Proceeds will support IHN, which helps families secure employment and housing, among other things.

For more information call IHN volunteer Meredith Roller at 343-9982.

And if you have ideas about faith-related fundraising to share, please do by writing this blog. Are walk-a-thons getting old? Seen one one bake sale too many? Let us know.
