container being loaded at Heppel’s Farm in Surrey

The news is full of images of the devastation caused by the earthquake in Haiti. These are real people with real needs. Thanks to the incredible response of our supporters, donors and volunteers, we’ve been able to help. Our first container load containing 1.1 million servings of soup mix plus tents and tarps is on its way. Thanks to East West Express which trucked the container free of charge to Montreal on the first leg of its journey. Because of the lack of port facilities in Haiti, the container will is going to the Dominican republic and from there will be trucked to Port au Prince.
