My husband will be leaving Monday, April 26th with a team of seven other men on a mission trip to work at an orphanage called Hands & Feet Project in Haiti. I know many of my readers live outside of my living area, but after I mentioned it on my Facebook page a few times, I have had many readers ask how they could help.
What You Can Do (if you live locally- Middle Tennessee)
If you live in the area (Middle Tennessee) and would like to donate any of the needed items below, please contact me via email at kelly (@) faithfulprovisions (dot) com and I’ll give you directions on how to get these items to the team. We will pack these items into duffle bags and the men will carry them on the plane.
**Donation items are needed by this Saturday morning, April 24th. Or you can donate funds directly to Hands and Feet Orphanage here.
List of Donations Items Needed for the Hands and Feet Orphanage
Below are a list of items that the orphanage Hands and Feet requested, if we can help them out. So, if you can help by donating the following, please send an email to kelly@faithfulprovisions.com for collection details.
Note: Items are needed by Saturday (4/24).
- Gift Cards (so we can buy things not donated below) Walmart, Drug Stores, Grocery Stores, anything really!
*You can even donate gift cards you are not using, we can put them to use!
*Cards can also be used to pay for luggage fees. So, prepaid American Express, Visa or MasterCards are great too. - Duffle bags (to carry items to travel)

- Standard tape measures….2 or 3 really good ones.
Thanks in advance for your interest!!
Target in Cool Springs has a TON of baby food on sale on those back aisles. I will try to swing by tomorrow and get some goodies from this list. I wish I had known yesterday when I was sitting starring at the food saying, “Hmmm, wonder who I know that could use this.” haha. Will say prayers for him on his journey. What a great life experience!!
That’s SO awesome! Several of us at Restore Haiti/Conduit Mission are friends with the Hands & Feet folks, and the orphanage is close to the church we support in Jacmel (I actually almost got stuck there during Hurricane Gustav). If you’ve never been there, you’ll fall in love with the Haitians and never want to come back.
