Today at the Municipal Services building Mayor Michael Nutter joined local Haitian organizations such as the Haitian Clergy, Haitian Coalition, and the Red Cross to speak about how the City plans on sending Aid to Haiti.
"What we're doing right now is planning on how we will send the aid," said the Mayors Commissioner for African Caribbean Immigrant Affairs. "We are organizing a number of drop offs of clothing, food and other necessities so that is can then be sent to Haiti."
"What's going to happen is that the supplies of aid will go to Miami Florida first and then it will go through an American Naval Base to Haiti." said Mayor Michael Nutter.
Gilda Jean-Louis from the Elise Foundation said that "We're going to see where we can actually store the material aid before sending it."
