Guy Pies & More 2025 was a success!
Chapel Hill United Methodist Church in Indianapolis Indiana has graciously hosted Mission Haiti Medical for the past 5 years. The event is the brainchild of Carolyn Olivier, a member at Chapel Hill and long time member of the Mission Haiti Medical Board. In addition to this fundraising event, Chapel Hill UMC members have participated in Mission Haiti Medical missions since 1998.
For Guys, Pies, and More, members of the congregation, especially men, are invited to bake or cook desserts that are auctioned following a dinner. The meal celebrates Haiti and Mission Haiti Medical’s efforts to bring medical and dental services to rural Saintard Haiti. The dinner and auction are both a time of celebration and fun as well as an opportunity to share updates about Mission Haiti Medical and Haiti in general. The event has proved very successful in bringing the congregation together to celebrate the support donated to MHM.
This year we utilized the event to highlight one of our campaigns to raise funds for mothers and babies in rural Haiti called Better Beginnings. Donors were given the option to make a gift in memory or honor of their own mother or another mother in their lives. As a part of this campaign, we also collected some baby items that were shipped to the hospital. We loved all of the clothing and diapers we received and were able to ship to Haiti!
Although the Guys Pies and More event as well as the Better Beginnings campaign have both ended, the hospital and local rural Haitians are in need of all the support we can provide. It is a very challenging time as gangs continue to cause disruptions and violence. Please join us in praying for Haiti. If you are able and feel led, please consider giving a gift to aid the hospital and even help provide things as simple as meals that at times can be hard to come by.
