Project HOPE

[Jack Frost]

We would like to ask for your assistance in what we are calling Project H.O.P.E which stands for Help Our People Everywhere. We would like to help the earthquake victims of Haiti by collecting health kits and money. There is a supply list of needed items below. The items are very specific and must be exactly as listed to pass the customs requirements so that the needed items get there as fast as possible.  If you write a check, make it out to Howard United Methodist Church. The ball has begun rolling as we already have a dentist who has donated 50 toothbrushes!  The schools of USD 282 are going to be involved with Project HOPE, too.  Hopefully, we can raise some money and send some much needed help and hope to the people of Haiti.


      If you would like to help with project H.O.P.E., please contact either Ben or Luke Bellar at 620-374-2197 or David Whetstone at 620-374-2296. If you want to send a check, make it out to the Howard United Methodist Church and put Haiti in the memo line. Mail it to :
Howard United Methodist Church, P.O. Box 265, Howard, KS 67349.


We need all items and donations by January 31.

     After all items are collected, the Howard Methodist Youth Group will assemble the health kits and they will be taken to a drop off location.
Anything and everything you can donate will be much appreciated by us and even more so to the Haiti earthquake victims and families.

Supply list:
·       Hand towels (15" x 25" up to 17" x 25". No Kitchen towels.
·       Washcloths
·       Combs (large and sturdy, not pocket-sized)
·       Nail files or fingernail clippers (no emery boards or toenail clippers)
·       Bath-sized bars of soap ( 3oz. and up)
·       Toothbrushes (single brushes only in original wrapper, no child-size brushes)
·       Adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages


Thank you,
Ben and Luke Bellar

What a great project that all in the area can easily be involved with!  Hopefully you will receive a lot of community support!  Good Luck!

It makes this old woman's heart swell with pride to read this...And to know that it is the youth of our country who are setting a shining example of what it truly is to be an American...Living life out loud, with arms wide open, taking action instead of offering lip service.  I know that your communities will get together behind the efforts of these kids!
