Send HFC Christmas Cards

For every designated gift of $16 to the Christmas 2011 Card Campaign, we would like to thank you with a set of 12 HFC Christmas cards to give to family and friends this holiday season. This is a great way to let others know about Hope for the Children of Haiti's ministry. Below is this year's design, created by Renick, one of boys who grew up at HFC. Click on the image below to see a larger view of the card as well as inside and back views.

To receive one or more sets of Christmas cards, please give a donation by check or through our online system and include Christmas 2011 Card Campaign in the memo line. (1 set per each gift of $16 will be sent unless otherwise indicated. For example, 2 sets will be sent for a gift of $32) Help us spread the word this holiday season!

Use Your Talents

In her sophomore year, Marianna started a bracelet business on Facebook in support of HFC. Others have also made and sold bracelets and other jewelry. We have also had elementary school children earn hundreds of dollars from a simple lemonade stand. Musicians have sold t-shirts to support HFC and others have held benefit concerts.

Ask for a Charitable Gift

One of our donors, in leiu of gifts for his 80th birthday, requested charitable donations from his friends and family.

Collect Change

Put a jar out and collect your change for Haiti. A small amount adds up quickly. Ask visiting friends and family to contribute or ask about placing a collection jar at your work. One school in Massachusetts earned over $700 by collecting pennies!
