tents for haiti, update.
Haitians need tents. (The rain is coming, tarps are not enough) We have tents.
How do you know Haitians need tents? Here is the best article I’ve read yet on the subject from the Washington Post.
Some ways you can help:
1. Pray.
2. Tell everyone you know, (blog it, facebook it, twitter it). We need people who will encourage others to give tents that are new OR used. Download a Twitter Avatar and/or a Twitter Background for your twitter account.
3. Give! Buy a tent locally or online. OR donate a USED tent.
- Locally: Our Wilmington drop off location is Port City Java’s Main Office on Market Street (@portcityjava) (2101 Market St, Wilmington, NC 28403) M-F 8am-5pm OR bring them to the Wilmington Tweet up on February 23rd from 5:30pm -8:30pm at Pomegranate Books. (@pombooksILM)
- Online: by donation or purchasing tents through Amazon. Those who order online ship tents directly to Courageous Church in Atlanta. From there the tents will be shipped out through 4 different aid organization and distributing them in Haiti. Go to A home in Haiti website for more info.
4. Volunteer. If you are in Wilmington, NC and you would like to volunteer with this effort, contact me. We have ideas of doing a tent day – but plans are still in the works. More to come.
If you have questions, please let me know!
