75,000 meals packed at Coastal Christian High School for children in Haiti

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Coastal Christian High school believes that hope changes everything for children in Haiti.

Hope Changes Everything is a nonprofit organization that sends underprivileged children in Haiti to school with a nutritious meal every day.

Saturday, volunteers packed 75 thousand meals to send to Grand-Goâve, a commune in Haiti.

Founder, Renee Hunter is pleased with the turnout of volunteers and their accomplishments.

“By offering them an academic education, a spiritual education and nutrition we give them a chance to hope and we make them, the people in Haiti that can change their abject poverty into something else,” said Hunter.

The meals are being loaded onto a ship that will transport them to Port-Au-Prince, Haiti and be distributed by Coastal Christian’s missionaries.
