Help for Haiti
The JAMES Board of Directors would like to request the assistance of our member companies in helping the people of Haiti in their desperate time of need.
At the top of the list of necessary items for the recovery efforts are medical supplies and non-perishable food items, including bottled water.
According to news reports, the most needed medical supplies are gauze, bandages and IV supplies. Also according to news reports, the most ocmmon injuries after a natural disaster of this type are amputations and bone fractures. For this reason, donations of mobility enhancing equipment would be necessary as well.
Raymond Arthurs of First Care Medical Supplies, Vice President of JAMES, is coordinating efforts with the JAMES Board of Directors to pick up donations at JAMES member company locations.
Here is what we are asking from our members:
- Provide JAMES with a detailed inventory, including quantities, of what your company is donating
- Contact the JAMES office beginning today and throughout the weekend by fax or email with your inventory list
- Provide the complete physical address of where your supplies are located for pick up, as well as the phone number, contact name and hours of operation
- Have supplies available for pick up beginning Monday, January 18, 2010.
The JAMES office will contact your company to advise when your pick up has been scheduled. Donations will be delivered for our member companies on Tuesday, January 26, 2010, to the Ambulatory Surgical Center of Union County. This facility is coordinating with NJ 4 Haiti to transport the medical equipment and supplies to Haiti.
