36 Hazleton Standard-Speaker, Tuesday, February 8, 2000 Local group travels to Haiti Vith bishop to aid the poor Diocese of Scranton in excess of $15,000, as well as other donations of vitamins and medical and school supplies. All the donations will be disbursed to the missionaries serving in Haiti to help sustain feeding programs, dispensaries, and clinics where free medical help is provided. The diocesan group will coordinate its activities with three missionary groups: Food for the Poof, the Hands Together Volunteer House run by Father Tom HagaQ, an American missionary; and the Missionaries of Charity's sisters and brothers, founded by Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Part of the local group will return to the diocese on Feb. It; the remainder will return home on Feb.
