Food For The Poor and Hope for Haitians will be holding An Evening in the Tropics event at The Mauh-Nah-Tee-See Club, 5151 Guilford Rd, Rockford, IL 61107 on August 27 from 6 – 9 p.m.

Funds raised at this event will support the construction of a village in Acul-Samedi, located in the commune of Fort-Liberté. There will also be a dinner and silent auction.

Celebrating 20 years of providing hope for Haiti, this life-changing effort aims to provide safe, secure homes with proper sanitation for 75 families. Each household will receive a solar kit to supply nighttime lighting, energy, and security.

The community will receive two water wells and two water treatment systems, and 15 solar-powered streetlights will be installed to light the streets at night. In addition, a much-needed community center will be built.

Individual tickets cost $100 each.
