Good Shepherd Orphanage - Carrefour, Haiti
We all share great concern for the people of Haiti during this time of disaster following the recent earthquake. The Kirk has been a long-time supporter of Good Shepherd Orphanage
in Carrefour, Haiti (near Port-au-Prince).
At this time, the people closest to the situa-
tion at GSO have asked for our prayers and financial support. Kirk in the Hills will accept only financial donations at this time and, until we understand what other needs may exist, we do not have the means to accept or ship any other donations. We ask that you please honor the request of the good folks at GSO, and of course, keep them in your prayers.
For those who would like to make a financial contribution, here are two suggested options:
1. To make a contribution to Good Shepherd
Orphanage, send a check to the Kirk Office, made
payable either to Good Shepherd Orphanage, or to Kirk
in the Hills (designated for Good Shepherd Orphanage).
We will forward those funds to the GSO Foundation.
2. To make a contribution to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, you may also send your check to the Kirk Office, made payable to Kirk in the Hills (designated for Presbyterian Disaster Assistance - Haiti), and we will
forward those funds to the Presbyterian Church (USA) indicating disaster relief assistance for Haiti.
Feel free to use a pew envelope to make your contribution, and drop it in the offering plate. You may also mail your check to the Kirk in the Hills, 1340 W. Long Lake Rd., Bloomfield Hills, MI, 48302, or drop it off at the front
office during normal business hours.
