Meathead Movers collected nearly 2,000 pounds of goods donated by the community for care kits to be sent to Haiti.

In conjunction with Heart to Heart International, a non-profit that has a long established presence in Haiti, the care kits will be distributed to Haitians in need next week, and are comprised of items that Heart to Heart requested.

Additionally, more than $2,000 was donated to help the Haiti relief effort. All the shipping costs were covered by FedEx.

“It was so moving to see how many people took time out of their day to drop off needed items in the pouring rain,” said Aaron Steed, president/CEO, Meathead Movers. “We are so lucky to be part of a community that gives so generously and is so eager to help others in need.”

Meathead Movers has collected and distributed over 200,000 pounds of needed supplies in previous disasters, including Hurricane Katrina and the San Diego fires.

Heart to Heart International, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, is dedicated to improving global health through humanitarian initiatives that connect people and volunteers. They are active in over 60 countries, and have been working to improve the health of Haitians for over a decade.
