UMCOR SUPPLY DEPOTS: HEALTH KITS URGENTLY NEEDED
Material resources at both of UMCOR's relief supply depots are in short supply due to the overwhelming response to the Haiti earthquake. The depots are also continuing to respond to other countries' needs as they respond to Haiti. Your support is needed to help UMCOR's relief supply depots shelve a reserve of relief supplies in preparation for future disaster needs.
"The plan is to keep the health kits going into Haiti, not store them," said Kathy Kraiza, UMCOR Sager Brown director.
Sager Brown (Louisiana) and UMCOR West (Salt Lake City, Utah), are working closely with conference/jurisdiction-owned warehouses, such as Midwest Mission Distribution Center (IL), Mission Response Center (Western NC), MERCI (NC), Mission Central (Central PA), Eastbrook Mission Barn (Western PA), and staging areas in several conferences to ready shipments to Haiti. Those assembling health kits and other relief supplies for Haiti are instructed to ship kits to their nearest warehouse facility.
Volunteers are welcome to assist in assembling health kits at either of the depots. Those interested in volunteering at UMCOR West in Salt Lake City, please contact Director Brian Diggs at 801-973-7250, or email WestDepot@umcor.org. To volunteer at Sager Brown, please call 1-800-814-8765. Please also give generously to Material Resources, UMCOR Advance #901440. Giving to this Advance project enables Sager Brown to purchase relief supply contents.
