Nourish America Requests Haiti Aid

OJAI, Calif.Nourish America is requesting cash and product donations to help aid children affected by the earthquake in Haiti. The natural disaster prompted Nourish America to broaden its support beyond the U.S. shores, initiating an extensive relief effort and a two-year support program for the victims of the earthquake, with particular focus on the children. The children of Haiti make up almost 50 percent of the country's population. With the devastating losses from the quake and aftershocks, tens of thousands of these children are devastated by the trauma from the disaster as well as from the loss of their parents.  

Nourish America partnered with National Foundation for Women Legislators bringing together resources to create a reliable network of distribution for supplies. They are asking for donations of the following items: cash funds, water, protein and meal replacement bars and drinks, shelf-stable juices, dairy products and prepared foods, canned goods, ready-to-eat cereals, ready-to-eat snacks, baby food, multivitamins, other supportive nutritional supplements, and body and skin care products.

To donate, call Nourish America at (866) 487-1484 or e-mail them at [email protected].
