February 17, 2010 - John A Monteleone, CEO of emergenx.com (EMX), online retailers of survival and security products, announced today the “Survival Kits for Haiti Project”. Emergenx is working with Naples, Florida based Hope For Haiti, (http://www.hopeforhaiti.com) who will receive, ship and distribute survival kits to the people of Haiti. Hope For Haiti is a registered charitable organization that is recognized and rated 4 stars by Charity Navigator.com.
John Monteleone stated; “We are responding to our customers request to provide a method to purchase, donate, ship and distribute survival kits to the people in Haiti. Hope For Haiti responded with the need and the distribution network. We are very pleased to be able to provide this service and help those in need. EMX is also in search of additional organizations that can distribute these kits in response to other disasters and people in need around the world.”
The survival kits are complete, self contained, and solve several issues.
1) Each kit is complete and includes many of the items that relief organizations have been requesting individually and then sending to Haiti.
2) With survival kit donations it is impossible for any foundation to put the contribution towards other expenses. 100% of the donated kits are distributed in Haiti.
