Earthquake Update – How can you help

Posted on Friday, January 15th, 2010, by Teresa under General News

Here is some information from our main mission website.  They are loading containers in specific area — if you would like to donate supplies here is where you can take them.

NWHCM was spared major disaster from this earthquake, but God has laid it upon our hearts to go help in places that need it and are crying out. We are sending our own people and supplies to help our partners in ministry to the south. This will mean that we need finances and supplies for the task at hand and also for the task of resupplying.

Money is the most flexible resource to use in Haiti. To donate, click here.

Next, we need food, medicines, and medical supplies. Food and medicines need to be at least six months from expiration.

  • High-protein foods (peanut butter, protein bars, beans, canned meat, baby formula)
  • Medical supplies (bandages, sutures, splinting supplies, IV fluids, antibiotics)
