On January 23, 2019 a team from Lancaster United Brethren Church will be working and serving in Cazale, Haiti at a Rescue Center run by Real Hope for Haiti, an organization that provides medical care and nutritional support to children in the community. The Center is always in need of medical supplies, medicines, and other supplies, but it can be expensive to ship supplies and they don’t always arrive safely. Our team will have the opportunity to bring supplies with us in extra suitcases. This provides extra opportunities for you to help:
- Donate supplies from the Amazon Wish List
- Donate through the Real Hope For Haiti by making a one-time or monthly donation.
- Purchase some of the supplies from this list (PRINTABLE LIST):
