Food/Clothing/Medical Drive for Haiti

January 21st, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

As you may know, this past Tuesday Haiti was hit with a 7.0 earthquake, killing tens of thousands and leaving millions homeless. As a result, several organizations are spearheading the largest food/medicine/clothing drive on campus to help those effected by this devastating tragedy which will run from Monday, January 18th to Friday, January 22nd.

We are collecting:

Non-Perishable Food: macaroni and cheese boxes, canned pork & beans, canned baked beans, canned green beans, canned corn, cereals, canned fruit cocktail, canned/shelf stable tuna, canned beef stew, water bottles, etc.
Medicine: packs of band-aids, bottles of rubbing alcohol, bags of cotton balls, packs of first-aid gauze, first-aid tape, over-the-counter medicines, etc.
Clothes: shirts, pants, etc.
