The Southwest Medical Aid/The 3000 Club office/ warehouse in Tucson, which handles the donated medical supplies and equipment, was given the opportunity to respond on this occasion. Nearly 12,000 pounds of medical supplies and equipment, valued at more than $420,000 have been flown into Haiti through our collaboration with Operation Blessings International. Originally, the supplies was supposed to be taken to a hospital in Dominican Republic, where earthquake victims are taken for treatment, since air traffic is so restricted in Haiti. However, as Jan Izlar is saying, "miracles do happen" and the plane carrying the supplies was able to land directly in Port-au-Prince. Also included in the shipment were pallets of Gatorade and water. We thank our Director, Jan Izlar for coordinating the shipment and also our tireless volunteers which included Patty Figueroa who have taken several photos of this humanitarian action. 
The group was greeted by BFB's Executive Director, Yolanda Soto and her staff and was given a tour of the facility. The volunteers sorted and repacked produce consisting of cucumbers, zucchini, squash, honeydew melons, watermelon, tomatoes and eggplants. Lunch was served after which the volunteers loaded their respective trunks with produce which were given to a church in Phoenix and also to Casia Maria in Tucson, a community project that helps feed those in need of meals, shelter and clothing.
