Last year Scott County High School participated in a peanut butter drive for the Northwest Christian Haiti Mission. You can follow up on their ministries and any updates on their website. Last year we were able to collect 500 jars of peanut butter to send down to the people of Haiti. However, with the earthquake that has hit recently we feel it is even more important to raise more than last year. This year our goal is 3 million jars for the 3 million people that live there. Many people in Haiti do not have refrigeration units in their homes and peanut butter is an excellent source of protein that does not need to be refrigerated and will keep for an extended amount of time. Contact us for more information on how you can help.

More Miracles

We are now 16 days past the massive earthquake that struck the country of Haiti. For 16 days, search and rescue teams have been digging through the debris, desperately trying to find anyone that might still be alive. Obviously, as time has gone on, the chances of finding anyone still alive have grown very slim. Most medical experts agree that humans cannot survive more than 72 hours without water; but yesterday, a 16 year old girl shocked everyone.

15 days past the quake, or 360 hours, a French search and rescue team pulled a very weak, but alive, Darlene Etienne out from under a collapsed home near St. Gerard University.
