Haiti Earthquake Relief and Recovery

The devastation took just moments; the recovery will take years. Your help is urgently needed to enable survivors of this tragedy to fend off hunger and disease and to rebuild their lives. Through One Great Hour of Sharing, American Baptists began responding immediately. Over $65,000 has been sent so far for relief efforts underway in Port-au-Prince and surrounding area.

Please give generously to these relief efforts. Every dollar will go 100% to disaster relief and recovery. You may submit your contribution to Bethany Baptist Church and note “One Great Hour of Sharing — Haiti Relief” in the lower left corner. Please visit www.internationalministries.org to check for updates regarding American Baptist Ministries and efforts.

Haiti Personal Hygiene Kits

We are collecting items for Personal Hygiene Kits for distribution in Haiti.  Please get involved personally.  You may pick an item to buy in bulk or bring any combination of items.  There will be a container in the Parlor to receive these items.  They will be assembled into personal hygiene kits and sent to responsible people in Haiti who will see to their distribution.  Go out of your way to help.  By going out of your way to help, you will be personally involved and invested just like the Good Samaritan.

Items needed for hygiene kits.
