I posted a few days ago about our local Helping Hands Ministry Team who are serving in Haiti. Just to give you an update, the first team (including Drs. Richard and Brenda) has arrived. Again, please allow me to share the email I received this afternoon. Also, you may want to bookmark their blog so you can follow their work there.
My husband and his staff are in the process of organizing the collection of the requested items at our three store locations. J and J Foods will be selling the items on the Helping Hands Ministry "want list" at store cost or below. The list in this email is specifically for the team leaving tomorrow so it is very possible the needs will change once things are evaluated on site. Our staff will be in close contact so that this list remains current. The most current list will be posted in the stores and collection bins will be placed at the front of each of the stores. This will most likely be in place in the next couple of days. I'll let you know.
Hello everyone,
As many of you know we sent our first team to Haiti on Friday. They have arrived safely in Port au Prince and say it is horrible. We have another team leaving on Monday morning and 3 more teams coming in the following weeks. If you would like to follow our work in Haiti you can visit our Blog at http://helpinghandshaiti.blogspot.com/.
The team has brought satellite internet and they will be updating the blog often. Please be in prayer for the teams going down. There is a large need for shelter and antibiotics. If you can donate a tent or medical supplies please let us know. Each team member will be carrying 100 pounds of supplies with them and we need those supplies.
Latest needs list: (this list is needs for the team leaving tomorrow)
Tents – For Haitian Families
