The Haitian Project Garage Sale

July 28–30, 2023 — Details Below

The Haitian Project, Inc.The Haitian Project through its support of Louverture Cleary School, a free, Catholic, co-educational secondary boarding school in Haiti, provides for the education of academically talented and motivated students from Haitian families who cannot afford the cost of their children’s education in order to maximize their potential and enable them to work toward building a Haiti where justice and peace thrive..

Imagine living in a place where…

  • More than one million primary school-age children simply have no access to education.
  • Nearly 80% of the population lacks basic reading and writing skills.
  • One in eight children die annually before the age of five, mainly because of malnutrition.

It is for this cause that, each year, The Madeleine Parish comes together with contributions of time, talent and merchandise to raise money for this worthy mission. One hundred or more volunteers work in the summer heat to raise sorely needed funds to support the school, and a good number work year-round organizing the event and securing donations.

If you have merchandise to donate, or wish to volunteer your time, please contact Steve Holmes, 503-706-7937, steveholmes@shtrucking.com.
