Chapleau Pentecostal Church is thanking the community for helping support children in Haiti, through their recent online auction and take-out chili night.
Pastor Dot Guertin says both were quite well received, particularly the auction.
Guertin notes the auction and chili night raised $6917 for the Haiti ministry, but other donations for the cause push that total to $7362.40, which she says is "getting close to normal", but "amazing" given current conditions.
She also thanks all volunteers who helped out, including some local high school students, one of whom translated the auction item descriptions into French.
