1,000,000 and counting

A tremendous milestone will be reached this week for the BeDoTell Youth Ministry at Fort Caswell. They will pack their 1 millionth meal with Servants With a Heart for shipment to Haiti. By the end of the summer they will have packed over 175,000 pounds of life-sustaining food for the people of Haiti.

Since 2017, BeDoTell has been a great partner of SWH. Each summer (other than 2020) for 8 or 9 weeks between 4,000 and 7,000 young people and counselors pack meals. At the end of Summer 2022, nearly 30,000 campers will have had a hands-on opportunity to provide food for their partner in Haiti.

One of the neat things that has come from this is the relationships that have developed with Baptist churches across North Carolina. I have always believed if someone can participate in an event, they will become an advocate for those that have no opportunity to get food regularly. Abject poverty and rampant starvation are foreign to most of us who have not seen the real struggles that people in developing countries deal with daily. We get calls every year about bringing SWH to churches that have packed meals at summer camp and want to continue making a difference for those less fortunate.

If your church or organization would like the chance to become an advocate for those suffering from food instability, please feel free to reach out to us at info@servantswithaheart.org and we will be happy to discuss options for hosting a meal packing event at your site. With looming food shortages throughout the world, your help is greatly needed.
