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.

What It's all About

Let me start off by saying a big thank you to my wife for setting this thing up. She likes to blog a lot and I appreciate her helping us out with this!

I am a teacher at Scott County High School. School wide, we have particpated in charitable works, such as a can food drive to benefit the Amen House and the trim-a-tree contest that raises money for Christmas gifts for local families that would not otherwise have any. I have enjoyed working for and helping my fellow citizens of Scott County; however, like many, my attention has been turned to the world stage and primarily Haiti.

We see the devastation that has occurred and the sadness that has hit such a small country. Last year, a student at our high school, under the works of Northwest Haiti Christian Mission, put together a peanut butter drive for the people of Haiti and raised 500 jars. This year we start off on a journey to raise so much more. The estimated population of Haiti is three million. Three million people in need. In need of food, shelter, medical attention and so much more.

Our goal this year is to raise three million jars of peanut butter in three weeks. It is a lofty goal. However, we have no doubt that we can do this. Our school and entire district has a giving spirit that can't be rivaled; but we need help. We need you to feel the compassion for the people of Haiti and help us meet our goal of three million jars of peanut butter. We will be working on setting up a Paypal link on this site for any monetary donations you would like to give. If you're interested in shipping peanut butter to us, contact me for our school address. If you live in the Georgetown/Lexington area, we can make arrangements to have the peanut butter picked up from your home or office space.

Thank you in advance for your help with this project.

    I am excited about your idea. I am curious as to how you will get this large a shipment to the people. I have read and seen that the roads are impassable, shipping to the country has been halted by all major carriers: Fedex, Ups, airlines and by sea. What is your plan?

    This is WONDERFUL! Thanks for your time and efforts for His kingdom and His people who so desperately need to feel His love thru their brothers and sisters in Christ. Matthew 25:40
