Mission Harvest America (MHA) has began collection of food, medical supplies, camping supplies, portable generators and more, the first shipment will be ready very soon.

Water is an urgent need but shipping bottled water takes up space and weight allowance which could be better filled with food. Instead of shipping bottles of water, MHA is manufacturing water purification systems that will be issued to families so they can make pure water from any local fresh water source.

Each unit makes four gallons in just over one hour’s time. MSA is looking for sponsors at $45.00 per unit, which will include a spare filter set and delivery to Haiti.

Please take a few minutes to glance through your closet, garage or storage spaces. Please take a moment on your next trip to your favorite store to pick up a package of underwear or socks or t-shirts. Please take a moment to help.
