North Shore Pivots to Local Provisions 2025

On October 24, I plan to attend the silent auction at Christ Church of Hamilton/Wenham to participate in raising funds to provide local provisions for our students. This is my 7th years participating in feeding children in Haiti and this year they need our help more than ever. The violence and chaos in Haiti has escalated but our children continue to be protected by their mountainous isolation. They have been going to school and getting food through local provisions as the packed food can not be delivered from the north. (see map below)

Fund Raising goals:

$40,000 will Provide Lunches for 240 students through 2026, including the summer months!

Let me tell you a few things about Haiti:

50% of Haiti's population is starving.

Only 60% of adults can read at a 6th grade level.
The average income is $350 per year.
Some children cannot count of even one meal a day.
Packathon food has always arrived safely, though sometimes delayed.
Their government is in disarray due to gang violence in the capitol, but in Future Forward for Haiti's partner communities in the mountains, school continues each day.

Would you like to help us? How can these students learn if they don't eat? How can they improve their lives if they don't learn? Please Donate Now to help me reach my goal of providing lunch for at least one student for a whole year. It feels so good to make a difference! If you would like to join me at the silent auction, you can register now as well!

If you prefer to donate with a check, please write it to Future Forward for Haiti, and mail it to T.Skinner 9 Juniper Street Wenham MA 01984 We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with no paid employees so over 95% of your gift goes to provide these meals.
