In light of the devastating earthquake in Haiti, two of the greatest needs at this time are food and shelter.

We are partnering with Kids Around the World and Kids Against Hunger to bring much needed food to ministry partners in Haiti. We plan to tackle 50,000 of the million meals Kids Around the World is striving to send.

Some containers of food have already made their way through to Haiti and are quickly being depleted.  Ours meals will go to one of the following two organizations:

Northwest Haiti Christian Mission: Located 8 hours north of Port Au Prince and been serving the community there for 35 years.  Currently they are feeding 10,000 people every day!

NHCM is dedicated to establishing and partnering with indigenous churches to help bring people in Northwest Haiti out of spiritual, physical and social poverty to demonstrate God’s love for all.  Through the churches, they serve thousands of people across Northwest Haiti regardless of their age, gender, or religion through a diverse collection of programs that include primary schools, feeding projects, orphanages, medical clinics, church planting, a Bible college, and agricultural development. NHCM is the largest employer in the zone and one of the largest ministries in Haiti.  NHCM Web Site

Love A Child Ministry: Located in the rough town of Petit Desdunes (referred to as Babylon by locals) where they have been serving for 19 years.  Currently Love A Child is feeding over 5,000 children every day!

LAC is working to spread the word of God and show the love of Jesus by example, as they minister to the poorest of the poor in Haiti. Their outreach programs include 14 Love A Child schools, where they educate and feed over 5,000 children each day, and food distribution programs that feed thousands of Haitian families. With the help of partners, they establish churches in villages, hold remote medical clinics and oversee many other projects to benefit the poor in Haiti.  More inifo on the food distribution component of this ministry: Click Here  (Additional interesting info Here and Here.)

To accomplish this goal, we will need your help. We'll need 100-200 people to help prepare the food packets on Saturday, February 20, at 4:30 pm. The food cost is 25 cents per meal so we'll also need to come up with $12,500 to cover those costs.  If you plan to come, please click on the RSVP link at the top of this page.  If you would like to help cover the costs, please give online (click here) and specify your gift for Haiti Disaster Relief.  100% of your contribution will be used for this intended purposes.

Food Info: One food package contains six servings and costs $1.50. Each package is prepared in less than twenty minutes by adding it to boiling water. One box contains 36 packages, costs $54.00 and feeds 216 children. One pallet contains 33 boxes with 1,188 packages, costs $1,782.00 and feeds 7,128 children! The food is a rice and soy mix fortified with 21 vitamins and minerals, 6 dehydrated vegetables and chicken flavoring. This soy (52% protein) and nutrient rich formula reverses the starvation process and its effects.
