Hurricane
Katrina Relief Update
Collection
of Donation items and
volunteer
help are now being accepted
Released by:
Dr. Dewey E. Painter, Sr., Ph.D
President, Mission Harvest
America
As of today we have sent 64 truck-loads of
much-needed materials from our warehouse here in
Jacksonville
to the hurricane victims in the Gulf. Somehow the rumor has gotten around
that Mission Harvest is no longer looking for volunteers. We apologize if
there is any misunderstanding. We had to turn volunteers away on one day
because some trailers were later than expected in arriving at our dock and
couldnt be unloaded. We ARE currently requesting volunteers to help in
sorting and processing donated materials, and in loading and unloading
trucks. Please note that there have been some significant changes in
supplies being requested, some additional drop-off points for donated items
and some drop-off locations have been deleted. Our thanks to all the
hard-working media people who have been helping us get the word out. We
appreciate you!
Items Most Needed are:
Bottled water up to 1 liter only please
Non-perishable food, granola bars, trail
mix, small boxes of cereal
Canned Food [pop top type that can be eaten
from the can]
Hand Sanitizer, Baby Wipes, Tooth brushes
Sample size toiletries shampoo, lotion,
toothpaste, mouthwash, etc.
Insect Repellent,
Funds
for fuel and driver expense. Our drivers are all volunteers who
just
want to help in the best way they can
by getting these materials
to
the disaster areas as quickly as possible. Your donation to help pay the
cost
of fuel and expenses will be a blessing.
Volunteers are needed to help sort and pack
clothing, to help pack boxes
and to load and unload trucks and trailers.
You can sponsor a complete water
purification system for just $35.
This system needs no power, and from any
water source will produce
5 gallons of pure, drinkable water every 90
minutes. For those areas where water
and power are out, these systems will save
lives.
