Atlanta Chapter Partnership with Hosea Feed the Hungry PDF Print E-mail

As we journey throughout the year, it is imperative that the natural disaster of Haiti remain ever present and at the forefront of our hearts and minds. On January 12, 2010, a series of earthquakes measuring 6.5 to 7.3 on the Richter scale devastated Haiti. Hosea Feed The Hungry has been in partnership with Haiti over the last eight years working in conjunction with the Christian Revival Center. The Center's leadership, Pastor Freddie and Kim Hebron have been living in Haiti for the past 30 years and collaborating with a consortium of over 200 spiritual leaders. The Center has a vested interest in the community and continues to work within the areas hardest hit within Haiti.
I urge each of us to keep our sense of urgency regarding this devastation and not forget that we can assist in rebuilding this historical country. We have an opportunity to do something and make a profound impact! We will collect items/supplies at ALL NBMBAA, Atlanta Chapter events and forums as well as provide an opportunity for cash donations.  We are asking members and guests to provide the supplies listed below. This is a prime time to provide what is needed to the people of Haiti that will be directly delivered to some of the most isolated areas:

  • Latex gloves (S-M-L) Mostly MEDIUM needed
