6 Cans of Non-Perishable Food

There was a lot of talk today about what can be shipped in this container, leaving Friday. This container is an emergency supplies container.

We have so many people who want to send shoes and baby clothes and school supplies, and many other wonderful things. We are called Containers of Hope for Haiti... we are hoping to pack and send many more containers, once this one is packed, shipped, sealed, delivered and distributed safely and successfully. One at a time... it certainly is easy to get carried away! That being said, don't get rid of all those other wonderful donations and things you want to send. Just hold on to them and we will keep you posted as to what's next!

In the meantime, 6 days left until this container, filled with so many fantastic things from all the generous people here in the GTA, leaves. If you haven't given yet and still want to, there's time!

As well, feel free to comment on anything I have written. It's nice to know people are reading. And so many people have so many great stories to share. I would love to hear them!

Meeting today, Packing tomorrow.

Great turnout at the meeting this morning. So many new faces, so many great ideas and lots of loose ends tied up!



The camera crew on Thursday was from Cogeco and the piece they are doing on Containers of Hope for Haiti was on Friday and will be on throughout the weekend too. So, check us out!

We are heading to Royalton again tomorrow at 2pm to resume the organising and packing and inventorying. More tents and tarps to come apparently and calls coming in to say that drop-boxes are full to overflowing. How exciting!

I am not sure how all this would have been possible, or progressed and developed so smoothly without the generosity of Victor Brewda and his staff at Royalton, (especially Adelia, who is always there to meet us with a smile), as well as Pat Moreno and the people at United Van Lines in Mississauga. They provided us with boxes and tape which has made the packing so much easier.

6 Days till departure!
