Over 43 TONS of Haiti Donations
On The Move! - all with the COMPASSION and MERCY of
Jesus Christ!

Early Monday morning, February 1st , LCC volunteers grabbed their cups of coffee, got into the trucks and began picking up the donated relief items from the 22 Illinois collection sites. As the full trucks returned to the Itasca warehouse the first shift of warehouse volunteers were there to unload, sort, box, inventory and load the donations on pallets for shipping. 230 volunteers from 90 area churches were scheduled to work at the warehouse, three shifts a day, until the last semi is loaded today. By the end of the day Monday, 100 pallets (enough to fill two semis) had already been assembled for shipping. In total, over 43 tons of supplies will be shipped to Haiti from the Illinois area!!! Another 45 tons will be shipped from the out-of-state locations! What A Difference this will make to those in Haiti in need. As one volunteer said, "Just knowing that what I am touching here will end up in the hands of someone in need in Haiti - and IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST - showing the Mercy and Compassion of my Savior - there is no greater feeling than that!"


Thank You to all the churches, donors and volunteers who have so tirelessly worked at the collection sites and warehouse to reach out to those in need in Haiti with the Compassion and Mercy of Christ. You have been the Hands and Feet of our Lord. It is a privilege to see the Body of Christ working together to minister to those in need in Haiti. We also want to thank all the corporate sponsors (click here for list). Your donations of materials and equipment were invaluable to the Haiti Earthquake Response. We could not have done this without ALL of you!!
