South Florida Gonaives Relief Drive
Saturday, September 13th, 2008As everyone is aware, Haiti has been devastated these past month by four hurricanes; more than 25,000 homes were destroyed. But most of the destruction and loss of life took place in the Gonaives region of Haiti. To assist in the relief effort for Haiti, a group of concerned Haitian citizens and non for profit organizations in South Florida are now collecting clothes (adults, children, and babies), blankets, sheets, canned and dry food, personal hygiene items, small cooking ware, household articles, etc….. to be shipped by the end of this month.
Members of the group will be going to Haiti to supervise the distribution to grass roots organizations in Gonaives.
The above items donations should be dispatched to:
