Goessel walkers raise money for food pantry, Mennonite charities

Fifty Goessel area residents participated in the Goessel Area Harvest Giving Walk Sunday.

Leaving from Alexanderwohl Mennonite Church, they walked or biked two to six miles in a brisk south wind to symbolize those in other countries who routinely walk to get clean water.

More than $5,000 was raised for Mennonite Central Committee water projects and Tabor Mennonite Church food pantry.
