"We are thrilled and humbled to be apart of such an outstanding event," explains Mark Stuart,Executive Director and Co-Founder of Hands and Feet Project. "The Hands and Feet Project was launched 10 years ago with the help of Christian music fans and those fans continue to play a vital role in fulfilling our mission of caring for Haiti's orphaned and abandoned today. The K-LOVE Fan Award's Run For Love is a celebration of what we can do together as the Hands and Feet of Christ."
The work of Hands and Feet Project is multi-faceted. Under the guidance of Haiti’s Child Social Services, the agency provides holistic, residential care for children in crisis by building and operating Children’s Villages with multiple family-style homes lead by Haitian House Mothers.
