Helping the victims of Haiti

ACCers. if you haven't seen this yet, get on it! Let's be Christ to the world.

A devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit the capital city of Port-au-Prince in Haiti Jan. 12. Haiti is the poorest nation in this hemisphere and is not at all equipped to deal with this devastation. No one yet knows how many people have been killed, injured, or displaced by this earthquake, but early estimates are staggering.

We are going to step up and help in a very tangible way. Beginning immediately, ACC will be collecting four very specific food items:

  1. Peanut butter
  2. Beans
  3. Rice
  4. Spam or Treet

We will be sending the food to the Northwest Haiti Christian Mission as soon as shipping lanes are reopened. Again, please note that we are only collecting these four basic items. The missionaries have told us that this is what they need.

The need is urgent, and we will be shipping the items ASAP, so please bring your food donation this Sunday. Let's step up and be Jesus to the people of Haiti.
