FILLING GLAD BOXES FOR HAITI Last year after the devastating series of hurricanes hit Haiti, G.A.P. go and produce ministry resolved to do more to involve American churches in helping meet the needs of Haitian families.
Our answer was to establish the GLAD "giving love and dignity" Ministry one of two new outreaches we started to give a helping hand.
The GLAD ministry is a fun and rewarding ministry for all ages to give a helping hand and get involved in the Great Commission. Churches of any size, Sunday School classes, small groups, individuals and families can easily participate in this new ministry.
It all starts with a 12 x 10 x 8 inch box purchased from an office supply or your local post office. Once you have the box you can fill it with purchased or very slightly used items , nothing damaged or worn out. GAP Ministry has put together a list of acceptable items that may be put in the boxes under such categories as : clothing, games, health, hygiene, school, sewing, tools and toys.
This list as well as a brochure about this ministry can be mailed upon requests to individuals or a packet of materials to Churches. Once GAP Ministry receives enough of these boxes to make a shipment we get them sent over to Haiti. We are then able to distribute them into hard hit areas and mountainous regions of the country through a partnership network of churches, schools and other organizations that we work with.
