Interested in Donating a Basket for the 6th Annual International Adoption Center’s Picnic and 5th Silent Auction?

All Proceeds will be used to fund our
Medical Mission bringing Clean Water to Honduras

Did you know that the people in many parts of Honduras do not have clean drinking water? In the Region that we have been working over half of the children will get a significant diarrheal infection due to parasites and many will die.

This year our mission is to help bring clean water to the region in Honduras in which we have been working. All proceeds of the picnic will buy water filters for our friends in Honduras
