Goal
We at the Haiti Project are wondering what $10 dollars can do. We've been looking around our community and found that here in the Midwest, $10 doesn't go very far. We've learned that you can buy a fancy coffee and a muffin, a meal at a drive through, a couple of large packs of gum or 3.5 gallons of gas.
In Jeannette however, $10 makes a huge difference. We did the math, and learned that if every Episcopalian in our diocese (and our partners in the dioceses of Eau Claire and North Dakota) donated just $10, we'd have enough to run St. Marc's school for a year.
That's a huge impact.
St. Marc's school provides an unparalleled education and a nutritious lunch program to 500 children in this rural community.
Due to COVID-19 our donations are down, and we are in serious trouble. We are running out of funds to pay teachers and as it stands, the school may need to cut many grade levels. Just because our churches are closed doesn't mean that the church's work stops. Now more than ever, the people of Jeannette are counting on us. Can we count on you?
