Love Challenge #1

HAITI!

So, here is my first weekly love challenge

Give.

My pastor often says: "You can give without loving but you cannot love without giving."

So true. Love is more than a warm fuzzy feeling. Love beckons action. So I am stepping outside the "oh thats so sad" box and into the "What can I do to help?" box.

There are many disaster relief agencies that are raising resources for Haiti. I visited the site of a local church that is collecting items that they need the most in Haiti to send over to at the soonest. The deadline for collection is Wednesday. So over the next few days I will fill a box and drop it off on Tuesday evening. I will update you on my progress:)

If you have some ideas or information on how to help Haiti...leave a comment for all to read.

In case you are local and want to join in on the effort with me. Here is the list of things I will be collecting:

Medications/Medical Supplies:
Aspirin, Motrin, Benadryl, Neosporin/antibiotic cream, cough medication, ace bandages, gauze, latex gloves, thermometers, alcohol, scissors, Band-Aids and multi-vitamins.

Other items:
Small stuffed animals for children, cardboard boxes, sheets and blankets, children’s t-shirts and shorts, undergarments, socks, shoes, diapers, baby bottles and formula.
