Two months to the day since the catastrophic 7.0 magnitude earthquake devastated Haiti (3/12/2010) – Salvation Army volunteers from all parts of the Southland will gather in Bell, CA to participate in a two-day, 24-hour humanitarian mission for the earthquake-ravaged island nation of Haiti.
Through a partnership with Numana, Inc. – a nonprofit dedicated to relieving global hunger – this army of volunteers will roll up their sleeves and form a massive assembly line as they pack 1 million meals. In the first event of its kind in the West, these 1 million nutritious food packages will be assembled in 24 hours for shipment to Haiti. Donations of food and water have proved a lifeline to the 1.2 million displaced by the quake and The Salvation Army will continue to assist throughout this ongoing crisis.
Recruit a team of 12 people and register to serve. Be sure to indicate that you’re interested in the ‘Million Meals for Haiti’ project on the volunteer sign-up form, and let us know the names of the folks you’ve recruited to your team. We also need to know which shift you’d like to sign up for. If you want to speak to someone about signing up, please call 213-607-7314. And, if you are unable to recruit a team of 12, don’t panic … we’ll fit you in with another team or give you a job anyway! WE NEED YOUR HELP.
