How We Help:

IGH helps our brothers & sisters in Haiti by sending regular shipments of Bulk Food, Over-the-Counter Medical Supplies, Clothing & School Supplies to xxx in Gonaives, Haiti.

U.S. Operations:

Our US operations is based in Columbia, MD, just outside Washington, D.C.  It is from here the logistics of:

  • Define upcoming Aid Campaigns, determine goods for shipment (bulk food, over the counter medical supplies, clothing, school supplies, etc.) and target ship date. During 2002/2003 we were sending goods every other month.  We hope to increase this to monthly by mid-2004.
     
  • Organize fund raising events and work with local businesses to raise needed monies and solicit donations of food, clothing & equipment.
     
  • We bulk order food and other supplies, pack & box goods obtained locally, and coordinate shipping via a warehouse in Rivera Beach, Florida.
     

 

 

  • From the warehouse in Florida, everything is loaded up on pallets and shipped to Port-Au-Prince, Haiti.

Haiti Operations:
