Hawks Helping Haiti

After the devastating earthquake in Haiti, Mount Rainier Lutheran High is partnering with one of its association congregations to be a part of the relief effort through World Vision's 30 Hour Famine.  World Vision's 30 Hour Famine is a worldwide movement of students who are serious about serving God and fighting hunger - all on an empty stomach.  For 30 hours, participants get a taste of hunger by not eating - something more than a billion people around the world experience every day. And by doing fundraising activities, community service projects, and learning more about the facts of world hunger, students are changed in amazing ways as they help others and save lives.

Our Savior Lutheran Church in Tacoma is sponsoring the famine on February 19-20, and has invited the student body at MRLH to fundraise and to kickoff the event at the MRLH gym Friday night.  In addition to abstaining from food for 30 hours, our students will also volunteer Saturday morning at Feed My Starving Children at the Puyallup Fairgrounds where they will package and load 150,000 meals to be shipped to Haiti.
