Our first shipment left in August – 126 bins and our second shipment left in October-62 bins. The first shipment arrived safely. Recently received word that our second shipment has arrived and is safely waiting for our arrival to distribute to the children.
Deacon John and Pauline continue to meet with organizations in the local area who are excited to work with us to fund raise and collect school supplies that we can send to our schools. St. Bernard High School will be soliciting and collecting school supplies in January. 3rd Grade at the Elementary school already collaborate with us. If you have any tips, please contact us.
As of November 30th we moved our stock out of the property on Water St., Fitchburg. We are still looking for a viable new location with heat and running water. We have our supplies stored in different places for the winter. We continue to search any resource to find a kind person to allow us to do our work for the children in Haiti.
If you know of anyone who has approx. 2,000 sq. ft. that we can use to prepare our backpacks, please contact us. We are willing to pay utilities and rent can be taken as a tax deduction. We are a tax deductible non-profit organization.
We started September 2018 with sponsorship for 19 college students. Haitian Outreach will support 5 students going to university in Haiti with Grant Funding and 14 sponsors agreed to help their students attend higher education! We will see these students in March and deliver their backpacks. This is amazing! Who would have thought– attending a University was a possibility!
We are always in need of new sponsors for the children. Sponsorship changes from year to year and we always have some children in need of a permanent sponsor. If you know anyone who is interested in changing the life of a child in Haiti, please contact Pauline.
Donations and Fund raisers will allow us to purchase an electric up-grade at St. Marie for our use when we visit. It will enable us to keep the refrigerator and another appliance plugged in at the same time. Thank you for your generous donations and feel free to donate online to help the cause!
A group of 12 will be leaving early March 2019 for a week in Haiti. We will see 302 children and deliver their backpacks. One volunteer is monitoring our processes as he will model our program for children in Liberia. We wish him well!
Pray for a safe and successful trip.
We will have collection baskets at the entrances of the St. Bernard @ St. Camillus Parish, Fitchburg church to collect school supplies, backpacks and children’s clothing and shoes. The parish is very generous to Haitian Outreach and we are grateful because it makes a difference in the lives of the children we minister to. If you can’t attend in person, you can always donate online. Many thanks.
Our second shipment left Fitchburg Friday, October 26th for its long arduous trip to Haiti via cargo ship.
Our first shipment arrived and is safely in our Bureau Leclerc in Haiti waiting for us to get there in March 2019--Hurrah!
We continue to search for a new viable location to build our backpacks and continue the amazing work we do for the children of Haiti, in the Fitchburg Leominster area.
