"Hope 4 Haiti - Food Packing Event", is a great, family-friendly event that will not only educate participants about poverty, but provide an opportunity for them to actively participate in a solution by packing rice-based meals for the kids in Haiti. As you know, it is truly one of the best serving events for families, small groups, Bible studies, etc. that there is.
