Church fundraising cookbook will help orphaned children In Haiti

It’s normally a given that the purpose of a cookbook is to help feed the hungry. But in the case of “Connecting To Haiti”, a new fundraising effort by The Dwelling Place (Springvale Brethren In Christ Church), in Hagersville, Ontario, that intention is twofold.

Not only is the 131-recipe digest designed to delight and satisfy the appetites of those who purchase and use the cookbook, but monies raised from the fundraising project’s sales go to help with the care of children in two Haitian orphanages.

The decision to help feed impoverished children living at the Mission of Hope Orphanage and Tytoo Gardens Orphanage came after a series of mission projects in Haiti that saw members of The Dwelling Place observe firsthand the extreme poverty and homelessness faced by many, including young people.

The first run of 350 books is available now, and copies of Connecting To Haiti can be purchased via e-mail for just $10 each. In addition to a variety of delicious and heartwarming recipes, the cookbook includes several pages of color photos depicting the very children who will benefit directly from the proceeds of this fundraising cookbook project.

“Just looking at the images of those beautiful smiling faces in the book, it’s easy to see what makes this fundraising cookbook such a noble and important initiative,” says Rhonda Pineau, Sales and Marketing Manager of Gateway Publishing’s cookbooks department. “We commend the folks from The Dwelling Place for their determination to make a difference in the lives of these children and wish them nothing but success in this endeavor.”
