Local pilots who flew your donations to Haiti are back in Albany.
The Mission: Change team landed safely from a three day trip to Haiti. Pilot Mark Grimaldi and the team were the first to bring supplies to a small island outside of Port-au-Prince called La Gonave. They haven’t had food or water since the earthquake hit January 12th. Grimaldi says they were mobbed by Haitians when the plane landed.
“We got a lot of blank sort of open faces and, they’re trying to communicate with their hands. They're hungry,” Grimaldi said.
Grimaldi says they plan to go back to Haiti as early as next week. Mission: Change is still collecting over the counter medical supplies, rice, bagged beans, cooking oil, tomato sauce, soap, tarps, tents, and foam for sleeping cots.
You can donate at the Albany and Tifton Harley Davidson stores, Flint Community Bank, Goodie Two Shoes, Albany Uniform, Byne Memorial Baptist Church, and the SB&T Banks in Albany and Leesburg.
