Haiti Relief (DONATION COLLECTION SITE in Massachusetts)

TF Update 3/11 2010: The donations came in as requested! EVERYONE DONATED THE RIGHT STUFF! Wow. Packed up, labelled and moved to Ipswich, where it was combined with donated medical supplies and over 150 blankets (made by a group of ladies. I'll post their org when I get the name). The whole container was shipped out last week and should already be on the ground in Haiti. A new container is being filled, but the donations list is very specific to medical supplies. Contact us if you want to collect medical supplies.
