Dan Morris of American Jewelry Supply in East Brunswick NJ, who graciously made his warehouse and shipping experience available to us (as well as donating his own share of supplies), loads boxes for shipment. The pallet will be shipped to our partners, Mission Harvest America in Jacksonville Florida, tomorrow. Once they receive the shipment the items will be loaded on to shipping containers and sent to St. Marc Sea Port in Haiti. We expect even more donations this Saturday (1/23) at City Streets and from our partners collecting at 2 schools in Pennsylvania and several drop off points in Virginia and South Jersey. Thank you to everyone who donated and helped to get this first shipment on its way to where it is so critically needed! Share
We are happy to announce that on Saturday 1/16 at City Streets we collected $1,175 and approximately 2 pallets worth of supplies. Supplies will be shipped this week to our partners in Florida, Mission Harvest America , where they will then sort the items and pack them on to shipping containers to be routed to St. Marc sea port in Haiti which is only 60 miles away form Port au Prince. We will be at City Streets in East Windsor again next Saturday, 1/23 accepting monetary donations as well as the following items:
Monetary donations are becoming a critical need for these efforts as shipping costs are mounting. Please seriously consider a monetary donation of $20 per cardboard box with your drop off to help us get your items to Haiti ASAP. Thank you again to all who donated and a special thank you to City Streets for allowing us to use their venue to hold these 2 great events!
For This One is organizing a fundraiser and emergency supply drop-off for Haiti Earthquake Relief. Please join us! When: Saturday, January 16th 2010 And… Saturday, January 23rd Where: City Streets Cafe We are accepting monetary donations as well as the following supplies:
Please only donate items on the list above, as we need to tightly focus our efforts at this urgent time. If your group or business will be bringing a large number of items, it would be a great help if you can have the items boxed up (tightly packed), with like items in the same boxes, and labeled prior to drop off. This will help us expedite the process of shipping your donations. Please also consider collecting a monetary donation from your group or business to help us defray the shipping costs of donated goods, purchase additional supplies, and send additional aid workers to Haiti. Thank you for all of your support!
