Needham Helping Haiti
May 11, 2023
• St. Joe’s students came together to assemble nutritious meals for those in need in Haiti.
For several years now, St. Joseph’s Parish and the Needham’s Knights of Columbus have been collaborating to help Haiti. It was an initiative that began when the pandemic disrupted many of the traditional routes for aide, and further devastated the country. Over the last three years the event has grown and has provided nutritious food and more to Northern Haiti. Recently, a Packathon event was held, and 2023 was the biggest year yet. Yuxiao Yuan has the story.
