Organizations Filed Purposes:
DCIC WAS FORMED TO PROMOTE UNDERSTANDING AND RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIPS AMONG DIVERSE FAITH COMMUNITIES BY OFFERING OPPORTUNITIES FOR EDUCATION, WORSHIP, FELLOWSHIP AND SERVICE TOGETHER.
IN 2019, THE ORGANIZATION WAS THE SOLE SPONSOR OF THE FAIR TRADE & HANDMADE BAZAAR. HAND-CRAFTED MERCHANDISE FROM AROUND THE WORLD WAS SOLD BY NON-PROFITS AND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. THE BAZAAR INCLUDED LIVE MUSIC ANDETHNIC FOODS. THE ORGANIZATION HOPES TO SPONSOR THIS ANNUALLY.
THE INTERFAITH MUSIC FESTIVAL IS ABOUT BRINGING PEOPLE OF ALL DIFFERENT FAITHS TOGETHER TO SHARE MUSIC. THE INTERFAITH CHOIR IS A COMBINED CHORUS OF INDIVIDUAL SINGERS AND CHOIRS FROM VARIOUS HOUSES OF WORSHIP THAT COME TOGETHER FOR 2-3 SONGS DURING THE MUSIC FESTIVAL. SONGS OF VARIOUS TRADITIONS ARE CHOSEN FOR THE INTERFAITH CHOIR TO SING, AND EACH PIECE HAS ITS OWN DIRECTOR.
LIKE MANY FAITH COMMUNITIES, DCIC'S MEMBERS BELIEVE IN THE CONNECTION BETWEEN SHOPPING CHOICES IN THE UNITED STATES, AND POVERTY AND ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. IN RESPONSE, THE FAIR TRADE BAZAAR OFFERS DUTCHESS COUNTY SHOPPERS A WIDE ARRAY OF HIGH- QUALITY,UNIQUE, AND MULTICULTURAL FAIR TRADE ITEMS JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAY GIFT GIVING SEASON. CROP HUNGER WALKS (CHRISTIAN RURAL OVERSEAS PROGRAM). THE FIRST CROP HUNGER WALK WAS IN THE 1960S. NOW MORE THAN 2,000 COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE U.S. JOIN IN CROP HUNGER WALKS EACH YEAR. A UNIQUE ASPECT OF CROP HUNGER WALKS IS THAT CHURCH WORLD SERVICE DOESN'T RECEIVE ALL OF THE MONEY RAISED. UP TO 25% OF THE MONEY DONATED IS GIVEN TO LOCAL HUNGER FIGHTING AGENCIES WHICH INCLUDE FOOD BANKS AND COMMUNITY GARDENS. ADDITIONALLY, THOSE SPONSORING A WALKER CAN SPECIFY WHETHER CHURCH WORLD SERVICE OR AN ALTERNATIVE GLOBAL HUNGER-FIGHTING AGENCY WILL RECEIVE THE REMAINING 75% OF THE DONATION.THE POVERTY FORUM IS AN EVENT MEANT TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THE NEED FOR COMMUNITIES TO ADVOCATE FOR THE POOR.
