SHELTER BOX

Added February 24, 2010 by P Orth

The LMGA will be accepting charity contributions for a "Shelter Box for Haiti" at our table at the 3rd Annual California Only Locations show. The show is presented by FLICS - the Film Liaisons in California Statewide this Saturday, Feb 27 from 2-7pm at 2000 Avenue of the Stars, Century City, CA.

This "Shelter Box for Haiti" drive is organized by the LMGA Philanthropic Committee.  

Shelter Box  (www.shelterboxusa.org) is an organization that responds instantly to natural and manmade disasters by  delivering  boxes of aid to those who are most in need.  Each box supplies an extended family of up to 10 people with a tent and  essential equipment to use while they are displaced or homeless.  The price of a complete Shelter Box is $1,000 (US). This includes  the purchase  of new Box items, assembly, warehousing and their subsequent  delivery to the  site location, (covering transportation, handling, insurance) and  standard administrative costs.

If you are unable to attend the event but are interested in donating to the Guild "Shelterbox for Haiti" fund, please contact Philanthropic Committee Co-Chair Kristan Wagner.
