1/22 - Food for the Poor - Jamaica
this is a shipment that was scheduled prior to the disaster in Haiti
We are also planning shipments to Partners in Health and US Navy's Project Handclasp - part of our ongoing work.
We have received requests from many small organizations desperate to know how they can get items to their in-country partners. Unfortunately, we have not yet found ways to earmark products for specific locations.
Want to help but not sure how?
Our most immediate need is financial assistance which enables us to provide this humanitarian aid to places like Haiti. Please consider making a monetary donation that will be used in covering the shipping costs.
Monetary donations are being accepted to cover the costs of shipping the supplies. Checks can be mailed or click here to securely Donate Online.
