]]>The Salvation Army sincerely appreciates your interest in assisting the people of Haiti. At this point in time our emergency teams are in need of cash donations to allow them to target resources to those in most need. In our experience with numerous disasters over the years, it is often costly and logistically difficult to get second hand goods into a country. For example, the cost of just one Jumper to Korea has cost the Office $19 in postage. Also when sending large donations, such as 600-900 shirts there is also importing costs associated with the pick up of goods and many times customs charges are required. This has often resulted in the Salvation Army simply not having the finance to pick up the goods at the other end. For this reason, we are not accepting physical or material donations but ask for cash donations so we can focus on meeting the most pressing human needs without discrimination. A great way to support Haiti could be a school mufti day, where each student brings in a gold coin and that money can be donated to the Haiti disaster response. We genuinely appreciate your interest and encourage you to contact us for further information should you be willing to fundraise for the Haiti Emergency Appeal.

]]>I am a Teacher in Queensland, Australia and would like our school to help the children of Haiti by donating our old school shirts. As we have a new uniform, we have no need or use for the previously worn polo shirts. Our school has approximately 300 students and most students have 2 or 3 shirts which could be donated to the school in St Martin. Would you be interested in this type of donation? I look forward to hearing from you. Andrea Hussey.

I understand logistics may prevent this, but if the opportunity becomes avaliable we would love to take advantage of it. In the meantime we look forward to reading any information you are able to post here.
