All hands on deck!

We will be collecting supplies for sending to Haiti next Saturday, January 23rd, 9:00 AM till 1:00 PM
at the Vancouver, English Bay parking lot between Jervis and Broughton Streets

I encourage you to set up boxes in your residential building or office, for collecting items this week.

LIST OF SUPPLIES BEING COLLECTED:
Clothing - only new, unused (separate into man, woman, child, baby)
Shelter (tarps, tents, water purification tablets + filters, towels, sheets, baby diapers)
Building supplies (hammers, nails, screws, screwdrivers, Saws, Shovels, any other basic tools, non-power tools)
Power (candles, flashlights, batteries, matches)
First Aid (aspirin, bandages, iodine, gauze, ointment, etc)
Hygiene (anti-bacterial soap, feminine hygiene products, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, etc)
Hospital equipment (mattresses, crutches, IV poles)

We will be providing Rubbermaid storage bins for organizing and packing the supplies; you can also bring your donation, in a 'Rubbermaid' type storage bin instead of boxes, these can be used to transport the materials in an organized way, and then re-purposed as water storage containers, wash bins, baby baths, etc, and are easier to stack.

Any money collected will go towards purchasing supplies.
