Haiti Tent Drive InformationThe earthquake in Haiti is the most devastating event to ever happen in our hemisphere. The death toll will match or surpass the 250,000 people lost in the tsunami. The need for food, medical, and shelter is beyond our imagination even having experienced Katrina. The capital city, Port-au-Prince, looks more like “ground zero” after 9/11 than our minds can comprehend. The shelter is inadequate in the emerging tent cities and the rainy season is only weeks away. The need for tents to serve as short-term shelter has dwarfed the ability of the world to meet the short-term needs of the people of Haiti. As a result, we have decided to conduct a Tent Drive, February 21st – February 28th, as part of the local relief effort. We are asking that new or “gently used” tents (no heavy canvas) that can accommodate 2-8 people be given in this tent drive. Read More
