Responding
to the Crisis in Haiti
The children and youth
made 55 health kits to aid the residents of
Haiti. The health kits provide basic health items such as
soap,
towels, toothbrushes, etc. Church members are making monetary
donations to the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) for
relief work in Haiti. Since administrative funds for this
agency
are provided through other donations, 100% of the money donated goes to
work for the people of Haiti. To learn more about how you can
help, contact us or go directly to the UMCOR website, www.umc.org/haiti
or www.10thousanddoors.org.
