FLOOD BUCKETS UPDATE
A truck with flood cleanup buckets, tents, medical supplies, wheelchairs and other needed items delivered these supplies to Miami on Wednesday. From there they went on a ship which will deliver these items to Haiti. The Presbytery of Charlotte’s Disaster Response Team helped Haitian Heritage and Friends of Haiti (HHFOH) with drivers as well as loading and unloading assistance.
The Disaster Response Team is working with Haitian Heritage and Friends of Haiti (HHFOH) to collect donations to go to Haiti. The Disaster Response Team is supplying trailers for the collection effort as well as transportation of these supplies. We are currently looking for Charlotte area churches that will let us park a trailer on site for the period of time that the donation drive is going on. Contact Fred Wally for details if interested.
The Disaster Response Team is getting a supply of flood cleanup buckets that are in our inventory ready to ship to Haiti as well as the Gulf area of the U.S. We are looking for church volunteers to help us inventory these buckets to make sure that all items are there. Once they go on our truck for shipment, the next person to touch the bucket will be someone impacted by disaster. We want to make sure that they receive a bucket with no items missing. Contact Fred Wally if interested.

HAITI FLOOD BUCKET DRIVE
A BIG THANK YOU!
On August 14, 2021, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake devastated the south-western coast of Haiti causing immense damage across the country’s southern peninsula. In response, the Presbytery of Charlotte partnered with the Haitian Heritage and Friends of Haiti (HHFOH) local non-profit organization to assemble flood/clean up buckets for the people of Haiti to use in their clean up efforts. Thanks to the generous churches of our Presbytery, 81 buckets were assembled.
Mr. Thomas Hall of HHFOH collected the buckets from the Presbytery office on Saturday, August 28th. From Charlotte, the buckets will be driven to Miami where they will be loaded onto a boat and taken to Haiti. THANK YOU, Presbytery of Charlotte, for your participation in this vital mission partnership. Your generosity and willingness to help are greatly appreciated.
