Haiti Relief this weekend:

Benefit concert for Haiti at Christ Community Church at 6:00 pm. Come and support Haiti during a great time of need. You can designate your gifts to relief effort at the concert. For more info, please contact Cindy Way: cindyway@graceprep.com

We will be providing people an opportunity to give to ...Haiti relief this
weekend at Calvary. So all cash and checks with Haiti Hope in the memo will be given to Haiti relief.

Two places that we will mostly likely send the support to are:

Through GAIN: they are in a position to send 500,000 meals to Haiti fairly quickly but they need the shipping money.

Haiti Hope Fund: collect funds that will go to help the people of Port-au-Prince.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact: lois@calvarysc.org.
