Volunteers Are Vital to Haitian Outreach!
As Haitian Outreach winds down from its summer donation season, we wish to thank ALL of our volunteers and donors who made our lives easier by giving of their time and talent. We’d like to introduce you to some special people who came and helped us during the summer.
Our shipment of 82 bins will be picked up the first week of September and begin its long ocean voyage to Port au Prince! Please pray for a safe and successful trip for our backpacks and goods.
We cannot list everyone, and would like to “ Sincerely Thank” all our generous supporters, donors, and volunteers for a great summer season. We could not do this without your support!

Paula & Christina meticulously fill each backpack with school supplies, etc. and add as much love as they can stuff in for each student.
