Many churches, meetings, peace groups and individuals raise support for the work of CPT in  creative ways.  We share your stories as a way to say “Thank You!” and as an inspiration to others.

Columbus (Ohio, USA) Mennonite Church holds an annual rummage sale which raises up to $3000 for CPT.  The church is located on a main road in Columbus, so that helps bring in customers.  Everyone seems happy to get rid of unused things and people really pitch in and have fun.  It’s a two-day event, and the last hour is “fill-your-bag-for-a-dollar.”  That’s a huge hit!  What doesn’t sell goes to the local thrift store.  It takes some work to organize but it pays off.

These gates have become symbols of fragmentation, control, and hardship in the lives of ordinary Palestinians.
