Just got back from a trip to a warehouse in Itasca helping Lutheran Church Charities box and palletize stuff to be sent to Haiti. The stuff was donated by different churches and trucks were going to the collection churches and returning to the warehouse for sorting, boxing and palletizing. My group was working on linens and towels. The others from our church were working on personal hygiene products. I think we packed enough wash cloths so that every person in Haiti would get one and maybe two. The Lutheran church had a presence in Haiti even before the earthquake. We have churches, orphanages and missions there. So every thing was being shipped to Florida then in containers to be sent by boat to Haiti. The missions and churches there will disperse everything. There were pallets of water, Baby food and formula, dish and laundry soaps, linens, personal hygiene, food, medical supplies, tents, buckets, and tools.
