St. John’s Haiti Relief Project

St. John’s and ChristChurch Presbyterian Church are partnering to collect items needed for Haiti. We have a 42 feet box-car shipping container located at Christian Alliance in Pearland. We need to fill it. (See list below)

Please bring items to the recycling center in McPhail Hall. It is best, but not essential, that the items are in large boxes, sealed with shipping tape. Please label the boxes with generic titles, such as clothes, shoes, hygiene supplies, etc. If McPhail Hall is locked, please bring your donations to the office in Building II.

Monetary donations are also needed to cover shipping. Make checks payable to St. John’s with the Haiti Project in the memo line. The container will be trucked to the Port of Houston where a Brown and Root ship will take it to Haiti to be off-loaded with amphibious craft, bypassing the port. Funds collected in excess of shipping cost will go to The Living Waters for the World Haiti Water Project.

Please remember the Haitians needs are long-term. TV and News coverage may end in a few weeks but people will be homeless for months or years. — John Freeman
