January 13, 2010/January 19, 2010 (Brooklyn, New York) - We have been riveted to the news for updates on the current situation that has paralyzed and destroyed the country of Haiti. Our thoughts and prayers are with our St. Paul Community family, fellow New Yorkers and anyone who has been directly affected by this catastrophe.
Our city is home to over 125,000 New Yorkers who hail from this beautiful country where they say poverty overwhelms, but we know God’s Spirit endures.
In response to this tragedy, St. Paul Community Baptist Church has partnered with Yele Haiti, the non-profit Haiti support foundation founded and led by Grammy® Award Winner, Wyclef Jean.
UPDATED LIST - - - Items to donate include water, solar flash lights, power bars/protein bars, medical supplies (first aid kits, gauze, antibacterial liquid, etc..). Please donate only these items as this is the specific request of Yele Haiti. Unfortunately, items other than those listed will not be accepted at our location.
Financial donations are also being accepted. Please make checks or money orders out to St. Paul Community Baptist Church and be sure to include Yele Haiti in the memo line. Online, please visit our website at www.spcbc.com, click “online giving” and select “Yele Haiti” in the dropdown menu.
Please direct any questions regarding this project to Central Office on ext. 100 or Monica Britton on mbritton@spcbc.com.
