- HOM is an ecumenical lay mission group with primary support from Catholic and Episcopal churches located mainly in Southeast Michigan.
- HOM started in 1998 following the marriage of Dr. Dominique Monde (in photo above) and Roger Matthews. As they waited at the airport to return to the U.S. from their honeymoon in her homeland of Haiti, Roger remarked, "There must be something we can do." Because the need was evident, Haiti Outreach Mission (HOM) was formed.
- Dominique and Roger went to their respective Catholic and Episcopal parishes in metro Detroit, and they provided assistance by contributing annual seed money.
- Other parishes eventually partnered with HOM. They also provide annual seed money and organize fundraisers. See list of partner churches on the CONTACT US page.
- The seed money from our partner parishes, money generated from fundraisers and donations which flow in from people in the community allow HOM to continue the work of serving some of the poorest people on earth.

Unfortunately, the gang activity in Haiti has made it impossible to safely travel there for mission trips. In March of 2025 the gangs attacked the city of Mirebalais, where HOM had previously concentrated its aid. The residents had to flee, leaving everything behind.
Because everything was left behind, the need is greater than ever. We remain in contact with the local priests who used (and continue to use) HOM funds to provide for the people in their community on a MONTHLY basis. We have continued to provide humanitarian aid so the displaced people of Mirebalais can have food (see photo above), shelter and education for their children. Your donation helps now more than ever.
