Haiti Relief Donation Shipment Update |
 |
 |
Friday, February 5, 2010 - 9:30 am
Again I want to thank all of you for your support in the Haiti Relief Efforts.
Here is the latest update received from the company that transported the supplies for us.
The two 53-foot semis left late yesterday morning (Thursday) for South Carolina where they were dropped off at a warehouse run by Cross International - one of the shipping firms that LCMS Human Care and World Relief and Gloria Dei in Florida uses. It was actually cheaper and quicker for us to go through South Carolina than Florida and the supplies will get into Haiti faster!
Because of the expert packing of our volunteers - everything except four skids fit on two 53-foot trucks. The remaining four skids will go out early next week with another semi of supplies being assembled by Kehe Foods for LCC
Here is what I just received from the shipping company:
Good morning Gentlemen,
Just a quick note. It was just reported to me that our two
loads with Haiti relief have just arrived to the receiver in
South Carolina. I verified it with the receiver Mike Porto,
who said he was already in the process of unloading them.
Looks like we got there just in time since they're suppose
to be having some crummy weather right now.
Any questions please let me know.

 Over 43 TONS of Haiti Donations
On The Move! - all with the COMPASSION and MERCY of
Jesus Christ! Early Monday morning, February 1st , LCC volunteers grabbed their cups of coffee, got into the trucks and began picking up the donated relief items from the 22 Illinois collection sites. As the full trucks returned to the Itasca warehouse the first shift of warehouse volunteers were there to unload, sort, box, inventory and load the donations on pallets for shipping. 230 volunteers from 90 area churches were scheduled to work at the warehouse, three shifts a day, until the last semi is loaded today. By the end of the day Monday, 100 pallets (enough to fill two semis) had already been assembled for shipping. In total, over 43 tons of supplies will be shipped to Haiti from the Illinois area!!! Another 45 tons will be shipped from the out-of-state locations! What A Difference this will make to those in Haiti in need. As one volunteer said, "Just knowing that what I am touching here will end up in the hands of someone in need in Haiti - and IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST - showing the Mercy and Compassion of my Savior - there is no greater feeling than that!"  Thank You to all the churches, donors and volunteers who have so tirelessly worked at the collection sites and warehouse to reach out to those in need in Haiti with the Compassion and Mercy of Christ. You have been the Hands and Feet of our Lord. It is a privilege to see the Body of Christ working together to minister to those in need in Haiti. We also want to thank all the corporate sponsors (click here for list). Your donations of materials and equipment were invaluable to the Haiti Earthquake Response. We could not have done this without ALL of you!!
