  • How to donate items for Haiti

    by Gail Henry

    After seeing the devastation and misery that the people of Haiti are experiencing, I know all of us are anxious to find ways to help. In addition to the financial donations that are being collected every Sunday in the narthex through the end of Lent, we are also collecting clothes and household goods.

    Our storage pod has arrived (thanks to Jeff Davis) and we have begun collecting clothing for adults and children as well as specific household goods. Remember, Haiti is a tropical country where the highs are 95 and the lows are 68 so only send summer clothing. All clothing must be clean and in good condition. Nothing torn, damaged or in poor condition. Skirts and light weight dresses of all styles are particularly desirable for ladies. If you send shoes and sandals, please tie each pair together and put them in a plastic bag with the size on the outside.

    The household items we would like to collect include plastic dishes, pots and pans, towels, sheets, and large pieces of fabric that are suitable for summer clothing. We would also like to send bars of soap, hair brushes and combs, toothbrushes, other personal items, safety pins, needles and thread and basic over the counter reading glasses of all magnifications.

    Please bring your items to the Parish Hall. The Daughters of the King has kindly volunteered to do the sorting of the items and will be handling this aspect of the project. As we get further into this there will be updates on the St. Paul’s website and in the church bulletin.

    If you have questions please feel free to email me at gailhenry.com.

Donating to Haitian Relief Project

St. Paul's Murfreesboro is raising money to provide help for Pere Fritz Valdama (known by everyone as Pere Val) and his wife Carmel (who is a nurse and dietician). Pere Val is the rector of five parishes in Port-au-Prince. We are also gathering clothing and household items to send to Haiti and will go there to help with rebuilding.
