Hurricane Dorian is said to be the biggest and most destructive Hurricane to ever hit the Bahamas! We are proud to say that POI, has decided to partner with The Community Church in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Florida, to send items and donations to the Bahamas. The items and donations will be given directly to the Relief Project! The supplies will be loaded on boats in Florida and driven to the Bahamas. The fleet of boats are working closely alongside the Bahamian Officials and the U.S. Coast Guard. If you cannot donate supplies, we are also taking financial donations which we will use to buy things needed that are not sent in. Below are the drop off areas in Florida and the supplies needed for the Relief Project. We also ask that you spread the word to all of those you know.
