A recent Fish & Chips fundraiser for Haiti event hosted by St. Vincent’s Church, 250 Bebout Avenue, Stirling, New Jersey, totaled monies of $60,774.
An April 10, 2018 update from Fr. Richard:
“Our goal was to raise $30,000 to place a water filtration system there so that for the first time in their history they will have access to water that is fit for human consumption. To date $60,774 has been raised; $58,043 from 104 individuals/families and $1731 in cash donations placed in the water containers in the vestibule of the church. The water filtration system has been ordered. They are assembled as ordered and so within a few weeks it should be ready to be shipped to Haiti and then on to Nanpol for installation and use. This is an awesome, life changing and wonderful gift to our sisters and brothers. Thank you to all who have contributed in this great act of love and care. We did it, praise Jesus!”
