Helping Haiti

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, resilient people of Haiti while volunteering at a home for special needs children, a clinic, and a rescue center for severely malnourished children and children whose mothers had died in childbirth. Debbie had the chance to transplant mango trees with the community group in Cazale. She also met the selfless individuals who have chosen to live in Haiti and serve alongside the Haitian people.

Now more than ever, the people of Haiti need our help. As organizations continue to delivery food, water and medical treatment, we are partnering to help with longer term needs. We want to help people begin growing their own food, building their own shelter and to continue feeding and caring for the orphans and the sick and vulnerable. We are warehousing donations on behalf of Real Hope For Haiti (http://www.realhopeforhaiti.org or blog at http://www.haitirescuecenter.wordpress.com). The donations will be sent with missionaries from Minnesota via plane and consolidated to be shipped on a container directly to Real Hope For Haiti. We have a large warehouse and hope you will consider donating even the largest items. We are also accepting gift cards from places such as Target, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowes, and Menards.
