In response to the January earthquake in Haiti, Westwind Church immediately gave $2500 towards relief efforts. This was possible because of the generous giving of our people to the Missions Fund in 2009. The need in Haiti, however, will continue for a very long time. Here is a way that you can individually make a difference. With a little effort and about $40, you can heroically feed a Haitian family for a week through the “Buckets of Hope” program.

A “Bucket of Hope” consists of a plastic five-gallon bucket packed with selected non-perishable food items. For approximately $30 you can purchase the materials and assemble a bucket. Donors are then requested to attach a $10 cash contribution to offset the cost of transporting the relief buckets to Haiti.

If you’re interested in participating, the detailed explanation on packing the bucket can be found here (CLICK HERE). Assembled buckets need to be dropped off at the church office on March 12.
