Community Invited to Help Fill Container Bound for Haiti
Get Simple Box of Lynden is partnering with local nonprofit New Generation Haiti to bring hope and help to communities in need. As part of this effort, Get Simple Box is donating a shipping container that will be filled with essential supplies and sent directly to support ongoing relief and ministry work in Haiti.
The container will be used to ship critical medical equipment and supplies needed to upgrade a clinic in rural Haiti into a fully functioning hospital—one of the few in the region serving vulnerable and low-income families.
After the core medical items are loaded this week, remaining space will be filled through a community initiative called “Fill the Gaps,” inviting Whatcom County residents to contribute high-priority items such as food staples and basic care supplies.
Every donated jar of peanut butter, bag of rice, or pack of hygiene items helps maximize the impact of the shipment and ensures that the container arrives full of resources that directly strengthen the work on the ground in Haiti.
