CCAEagles.org OPEN HOUSE November am On October 4, Food For The Poor packed four tractor- trailer loads of relief items for shipment to Puerto Rico from its warehouse in Coconut Creek, with nonperishable food, batteries, flashlights, lanterns, two-burner liquid pe- troleum gas (propane) stoves, tarps, blankets, baby diapers and hygiene items, five-gallon buckets with cleaning sup- plies, commercial-grade and standby generators. One container of water was also shipped from their partner Gleaning For The World. Food For The Poor also sent four pallets of critical medical supplies such as pain relievers, antibiotics, wound- care kits, along with disaster and personal hygiene kits via airfreight to Puerto Rico, with the assistance of Kansas- based partner Heart-2-Heart International. Food For The Poor is working with the Catholic charity Caritas to assure the distribution of the relief items. They will be assisting Episco- pal Church, which has 52 parishes throughout the is- land, and warehouses and transportation, both critical in distributing aid in the rural areas. Ohio-based Matthew 25: Ministries and Operation Compassion, a Tennessee- based ministry, are also as- sisting with this humanitarian relief effort. “Food For The Poor is proud to be helping the peo- ple of Puerto Rico. We under- stand what it is like to be hit by a hurricane, and we are appealing to all of our donors for their support with this cri- sis,” said Food For The Poor President/CEO Robin Mah- food.
