There are several ways to help bring relief to the people of Haiti who are victims of the powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake that rocked the nation earlier this week.
All Catholic parishes in the diocese of Toledo were asked to take a second collection Jan. 16-17 toward Catholic Relief Service’s relief efforts. Donations to the organization may also be made through the diocese Office of Global Concerns. To make a contribution, contact Deacon Paul White or Tina Hornyak at 419-244-6711 or e-mail pwhite@toledodiocese.org or thornyak@toledodiocese.org.
For those wanting to give relief items, the Little Sisters of the Poor Sacred Heart Home in Oregon is an authorized collection location in for donations. The Little Sisters are working with ISOH/IMPACT, a local disaster relief agency located in Waterville.
Items that may be dropped off at the home include:
• bottled water
• canned food and other non-perishable food items
• over-the-counter medications including Neosporin and Children’s Tylenol
• first aid kits
• personal hygiene items
• bagged rice and beans
• manual can openers
• diapers, wipes and baby care items
 • 5-gallon buckets with lids
• rubber gloves and masks
• paper towels and toilet paper
• flashlights and batteries
• large trash bags
• brooms, dustpans, mops and mop heads
• cots and new blankets
• tents, tarps, ropes and duct tape
• bleach and laundry detergent
• sponges, scrubbing pads and cleaning towels
• spray and liquid cleaners (409, Pine Sol, etc.)
Organizers ask that no glass or clothing items are dropped off.
The Sacred Heart Home of the Little Sisters of the Poor is located at 930 South Wynn Rd. in Oregon, across from Pearson Metropark.
