Help for Haiti Earthquake Victims

As of 1/22/10: We received $27,850 in donations from the Grace family over this past weekend, and we've purchased two truckloads of rice and beans for $39,285. Eleven pallets of medical supplies have been donated.
Money can be donated directly to the fund by clicking the Donate button below, or can be mailed directly to Grace at Fort Clarke United Methodist Church, 9325 W. Newberry Road, Gainesville, FL 32606 and put “Haiti” in the message field. The money will be used to purchase supplies.
