Medical Teams Planned

Thursday/ 21st

9:45am


What a day! The call center has wrapped up. More than $120k was raised for Mission of Hope Haiti. 5 HCBC men headed out at 6:30am this morning to take over the logistics and distribution at the Mission of Hope Haiti and to deliver needed resources and supplies.

Last night we gathered with local doctors and medical personnel and spoke with the medical crew on the ground with Mission of Hope Haiti. We will be sending 2 medical teams and up to 26,000 lbs of medical supplies out on Saturday.

We also would love partners in funding these efforts. Each chartered flight (9 passengers plus 6.5 tons of cargo) will cost about $21k round trip in fuel. People can give directly to this at www.hcbc.com

HCBC NW will also be the gathering point for the medical supplies. Volunteers are needed Thursday and Friday to Receive, Inventory, Condense, Pack, Transport and Load the medical supplies. Please pass the word. Volunteers can email go@hcbc.com or call 512 331 5050. Work will be from 9am to about 6pm Thursday 21st and Friday the 22nd. We also plan to pack the plane Friday night.
