Men anpil, chay pa lou

Many hands make the load light

The Haitian proverb Men anpil, chay pa lou reminds us that shared effort makes even the heaviest load lighter. This year’s Haitian Occasion reflects the collective spirit that has sustained this work. Haitian families, local partners, volunteers, and supporters…all working side by side.

The tenth annual gathering is a celebration of that shared commitment.

Join us for
an evening of:

• A family-style dinner prepared by
‍ ‍Chef Michael Sullivan of Market by the Bay
• Live music by Matthew Jacquette
Live and silent auctions
• Stories from Konbit Haiti in Montrouis
• A celebration of community and the work ahead

This event is both a celebration and an invitation — to continue building meaningful relationships and lasting impact together.

RESERVE YOUR TICKETS

For over a decade, Konbit Haiti has worked alongside Haitian communities in long-term partnerships. The Haitian Occasion exists to bring that story home — to gather supporters, share updates, and honor the many hands that make this work possible.

Your presence matters.

Your partnership matters.

Together, the load is lighter
