It Take a Village!
It is with much excitement that we share the success
of our 16th Annual Haiti Rummage Sale!Haiti Rummage Sale Total: $27,500
A very sincere thank you to our over 200 volunteers
who gave so much to make this event such a HUGE SUCCESS!
It was such a pleasure to witness and be part of
the fellowship and teamwork amongst everyone.
We had such a wonderful group of individuals
who selflessly gave their time to this amazing event
that serves our sisters and brothers in Dos Palais, Haiti.
Thank you, St. Michael Community, for making this day so marvelous.
Thank God for All the Blessings!
Thanks to My Guys Moving!
Former parishioner Dave Tindall (now at St. Elizabeth Parish) continued his commitment to the success of our Haiti Rummage Sale by donating a My Guys Moving truck and the services of two of his employees to pick up furniture that was donated to the rummage sale. For twelve hours on Thursday and another two on Friday, the My Guys Moving truck traveled from Montpelier to Chester, and all points in between, in response to requests for pickups. The pickup spreadsheet, managed by new volunteer Yvette Joyce (yea, Yvette!), made it easy for Dave to plug the coordinates into Google maps and plot the most efficient route to serve the 17 pickups that were requested. Parishioner Bob Marchese (thanks, Bob!) rode along to assist.
On behalf of the Rummage Sale team and the people of Dos Palais, thank you to Dave and his team for their generous support!
My Guys Moving, voted the best movers in Richmond by R-Home magazine, is a full service mover located on the east end of Richmond.

Our Twinning Relationship
St. Michael’s began its Haiti Twinning Ministry in 2003 with our mind, heart and soul focused on Relationships, Respect and Responsibility. Other groups travel to Haiti for service projects and mission trips and come home feeling good and even spiritually enlightened.
We travel to Haiti on pilgrimages to build relationships with the people of Dos Palais. That relationship has a much deeper impact on us and the people of the village. The bond that’s created is based on love and respect for one another and not just charity.
