Imagine 3000 youth from the Midwest coming together to reach the people of Haiti.   

My name is Tracy Cleveringa, the Missions Coordinator for Rocky Mountain High, and I want to give you the opportunity to help the people of Haiti by partnering your business with many of the teenagers from Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Kansas, Texas, and Nebraska area.  Allow me to explain…

In July 2011, approximately 3,000 high school students and their youth group leaders will be attending Rocky Mountain High in Estes Park, Colorado.  Rocky Mountain High is a large youth group event put on by the Synod of the Heartland (part of Reformed Church in America).  This experience leads many students to Christ and is a pivotal moment in their faith walk.

This year we are adding a new aspect to Rocky Mountain High: serving the hungry and homeless in the world through a food packing event.  Our goal is to raise enough money for an entire container shipment of food, which would help feed 378,500 people!!!  For this to become a reality, we hope to raise $72,000 before RMH 2011.  The food will be distributed among the hungry in the United States, Africa, and Haiti.  I know the event is a long way off, but Haiti’s recovery from the earthquake will be a long, slow process.  We hope to provide some relief when others may have forgotten about the tragedy in Haiti. 

Would you be willing to partner with the teenagers in the area to help the hungry?  No amount is too large or small.  Any little bit can help…

$10 = Feeding 40 people

$100 = Feeding 400 people

$1,000 = Feeding 4,000 people

$10,000 = Feeding 40,000 people  

Every dollar donated will go exclusively for the food itself; no administrative costs will be taken out of the donation.  Parents and students alike will see that you have generously offered to help! 

If you would like to participate, please make any checks payable to Synod of the Heartland and mail it to:
