Event Description:
Please join us on Saturday, September 30th at Moss Park from 9:00 am-2:00 pm for our Rebuilding Puerto Rico Hurricane Relief Event. We are kicking off the event at 9:00 am with a 5K Family Run. We are asking for you to bring your 'Boxes of Love' anytime between 9:00 am-2:00 pm and we will place them immediately in one of several shipping containers! Below is a flyer with details and a list of supplies. Unfortunately, due to the complexity of shipping these items overseas, certain items such as batteries, mosquito repellant and chemical cleaning supplies needed to be eliminated from the list. This is due to the fact that the shipment would have to be classified as 'hazardous cargo', the shipper would have to detail each item and the supplies would be detained at customs. List of supplies:
Bottled Water
Soap
Deodorant
Tooth paste/tooth brush
Diapers
Toilet paper
Canned food/can opener
Canned milk
Non-perishable food
Mosquito nets
Pet food
Feminine products
Shampoo
Garbage Bags
Clothing
