About this sermon
A group from a parish in Charlotte, North Caroline visited Haiti several years ago. They asked what they could do to help. They were told the people in the Caribbean nation needed food. So Saint Matthew Catholic Church went into action. By the end of their latest World Hunger Drive earlier this month, they had sent 300,000 meals to Haiti. And the total number since the initiative began 2 decades ago is 3.1 million meals. Executive Director of the Hands for Haiti Project founded by parishioners at St. Matthew Church, Steven Favory, and Chairman of the Board for Hands for Haiti, Ernest Dwight, join to tell us more about how this initiative began in the parish. Favory explains how they are able to have so many volunteers do this and whether the total number of meals surprises him. He sets the scene for us in the room where the meals are being assembled and shares how many people are working at any one time. Dwight discusses what the reaction has been in Haiti to the boxed meals from the parish. They fill us in on what advice they would have for other parishes who might want to undertake a project like this. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
