Fundraising Events for One Block at aTime

I received an email from a friend in Jeremie, Haiti, with a
plea for money for food. Prices of food have doubled in
Haiti this year already. People are starving. I checked on
shipping a container and was quoted almost $20,000.00 to
ship one. I am doing a canned food drive in the area. I am
having a trailer set up at the Maria stein Shrine from May
13th until May 17th for donations of canned meat and fish
and peanut butter. These are some of the things that are
high in protein. I will then ship the container to the Haitian
Health foundation in Connecticut. They will ship it to the
needy in Haiti. If you can help out just give me a call. I pray
for a lot of cans-Ben
On August 12th I received word that the 43,000# of food
we sent arrived in Haiti.

The fundraiser is being called “Walk a Mile in My Shoes
One Block at a Time”. This is a fundraising effort by the
Piqua Catholic School. The Social Justice Committee has
set a goal to raise $7,000 to build a house in Haiti.
Students will be asked to find a sponsor for each of the 4
quarters of school. Each student will walk one mile a week
at school. Business partners are encouraged to donate
also. The fundraiser will start on August 31, 2007 at a
mass at St Boniface Church, 310 S Downing Street, Piqua,
Ohio at 9:15 A.M
