We have several projects in the planning stages, including:

BonaResponds Feed Haiti Project

17ยข a Meal...


Help us feed 100,000 people in Haiti!
We need your help - we are preparing to launch a project that will feed 100,000 people.

What can you do to help?

Bake sale, charity game, walk-a-thon, penny drive, you name it... and we would love your help!
The cost of a family going out to a restaurant ONE TIME is enough to feed a family of SIX for an entire MONTH.

Please contact us for more information. To send $, please make checks payable to "BonaResponds" with "Haiti" in the memo and mail to BonaResponds, Box BY, St. Bonaventure NY 14778

We are working out the details with Impact Lives and Food for the Poor to run a full food packing event where we prepare the boxes of food in a major one-day event and have the food distributed through Food for the Poor in Haiti. If for some reason we are unable to hold the event, all money donated will be given directly to Food for the Poor.

We've "met" the founder, Mark Coughlin, through Pat's trip to Haiti. We hope to stay connected with Mark and possibly work together on a trip.
