A Hand Up To Haiti
Posted on Wednesday, January 27, 2010
Northrup King Building Manager, Debbie Woodward, made two short-term mission trips to Haiti in 2009. There she met the beautiful and resilient people of Haiti. Since the earthquake, we have collected, sorted, packed and shipped a 40-foot container to Real Hope For Haiti. Items included food, medical supplies, mobility equipment, tents and tarps, linens, hygiene bags, farming tools and seeds, diapers, dishes, clothes, crib mattresses and toys for the Rescue Center and more.
We are currently in the process of loading a second container with school supplies, medical supplies and medicine which is scheduled to be shipped in September, 2010. If you wish to help with the cost of shipping, you can make a donation to: Real Hope For Haiti, P.O. Box 23, Elwood, Indiana 46036.
