Clothing

If you are interested in sending clothing, please carefully consider our needs here. It is warm most of the time, so please send summer clothes. We do not need socks, hats, or swimwear at this time. We will gladly accept gently used clothing, but please do not send anything that is not in good shape. We have some need for nicer clothes, but play clothes are our biggest need.

Shipping

It is greatly appreciated if you ship your items in plastic bins we can use for storage. Also, it cost $1.25 to ship packages from Florida to Haiti. If you are willing to donate to the cost of shipping, that would be greatly appreciated. Checks can be sent to:Children of the Promise, PO Box 97, Prinsburg, MN 56281
