Peru Disaster Relief

The devastating earthquake of August 14th struck Peru, leveling cities and leaving thousands of families homeless. Thank you for your generosity toward our brothers and sisters in Peru as their country faces this tragedy. In less than six days, you completely filled a 40-foot container with supplies that were shipped to Peru on September 4th. After receiving over $120,000 in donations, we were able to purchase tents and blankets, and fill the container with the following items:

Tents -- 619
Cots -- 4
Air Mattresses -- 12
Blankets -- 1,079
Tarps -- 7
Towels -- 313
Sheets -- 39
Clothes -- 2,009 pieces
Shoes -- 1,200 pairs
Lantern/flashlights -- 19
Battery packages -- 10
Food items -- 392
Detergent -- 23
Sleeping Bags -- 8

Chuck and Sue Duby and Todd Sprinkel of Hope Force International stand in front of a full container just before the doors were closed. Hope Force oversaw the volunteer effort receiving donations throughout the week.
