HERO HAITI RELEIF PROGRAM

HERO is collecting life-saving medical equipment and supplies that will be shipped to Haiti to help aid medical missions for disaster relief. Financial donations or durable health care equipment and supplies can be sent or delivered to 2204 5th Ave. N. Ste. C, Moorhead, MN 56560. Online donations can be made on the DONATE page by clicking the 'Donate with Impact' button.

“Our goal is to collect and ship medical supplies that will be needed in the weeks ahead as hospitals are rebuilt. We can help Haitian hospitals regain their independence by assisting to stock and replenish their shelves with vital medical supplies,” stated Joyce Newton, Executive Director of HERO.

In November, HERO sent nine pallets of critical health care supplies and equipment weighing over 6,000 pounds, including an operating room table, lights and anesthesia machine to the ‘Comite de Beinfaisance de Pignon’ medical center in the remote mountain village of Pignon, Haiti. We are grateful to know the supplies that were sent will help aid in the current disaster relief efforts.
