10-dollar Water for a Cause

A church group in International Falls has found a unique way of raising funds for the Haitian earthquake relief effort.

For the past three weeks, the church's youth group has been selling water for ten dollars a bottle.

Pastor Eric Marx says sales have actually gone well once parishioners understand the reasons behind the high price.

"They're kind of surprised," says Marx, "but then we tell them that this represents one of the vital needs the people have over there and that is to get clean water over to them."

The fundraiser which comes to an end this weekend has resulted in more than two-thousand dollars collected.

The money is being forwards to Covenant World Relief for the purchase of food, blankets and clean water for Haiti.
