Liquid Church packs 800K meals for the needy in Haiti: ‘We can all do our part’

The New Jersey-based multi-site megachurch Liquid Church recently oversaw an outreach event in which approximately 800,000 meals were packed for those in need in Haiti.

In partnership with the nonprofit Rise Against Hunger, Liquid organized approximately 3,000 volunteers who worked at six of the church’s campuses in New Jersey on Friday and Saturday.

Liquid Outreach Director Kristin Flynn told The Christian Post that while the church had failed to reach the goal of 1 million packed meals, they were able to procure 300,000 meals from local sources, making the total approximately 1.1 million.

Flynn noted that the outreach effort was “one of those events that folds everybody in,” from “little kiddos to soccer teams to family from out of state.”

With the 1.1 million meals collected either through packing or procurement, the food will be shipped out to the Caribbean nation, most likely on Wednesday, according to Flynn.

Once in Haiti, the meals will be distributed by partner organizations in the country that specialize in giving aid, providing education and employment sourcing… (Excerpts from the Christian Post)
