Haiti Relief Kits

Haiti Relief Kits

As part of our efforts to help the people of Haiti, we will be collecting Haiti Emergency Relief Kits.  New Missions is hoping to collect 10,000 of these kits which contain basic hygiene, medical and food items. Mountainview will collect these kits through Monday, April 26.  New Missions serves many of the villages outside of Port-au-Prince that are not getting support right now. Most efforts as focused on the city with these villages being difficult to reach. These relief kits will give people a start of same very basic relief. 

Tell your friends. Invite schools to participate. Put together kits as a Life Group. Make it a work thing.  Let’s see how many relief kits we can ship off to Haiti! Please return your kits to Mountainview by no later than Monday, April 26.

    I have blankets collected by my Daisy Girl Scout Troop. Is there any way to get them to Haiti????

  2. I can check with New Missions to see if they can use them and then you could ship them there. Let me follow up with you via email.
