Depository for Donations for the People of Haiti

The Paul G. Blazer Library of Kentucky State University will be serving as a depository drop for items that include food (with a long shelf life), over-the-counter medicines, medical supplies, and toiletries.

Needs list includes food items with a long shelf life - at least 6 months out to the expiration date, some examples include items such as:
Peanut Butter
Rice

Over-the-counter medicines (examples below):
Children’s Tylenol
Children’s Motrin
Ibuprofen

Medical Supplies

Toiletries

The Red Cross website listed that food, water, medical services, temporary housing and grief counseling are needed among other things.

One of my co-workers has made the first donation of toothpaste, ibuprofen and food. She expressed that the toothpaste and ibuprofen are on sale now at Kroger for $1.
Please remember that all items that have an expiration date for use should be at least 6 months out for date of expiration if not longer.

We will be donating the collected items to:

The Northwest Haiti Christian Mission of Frankfort
Capital City Christian Church
The American Red Cross

These organizations already have service workers located in the immediate area of Port-au-Prince, Haiti and can properly assist those in need by making the donated supplies readily available. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Dantrea Hampton at 502.597.5946 or Dantrea.Hampton@kysu.edu
