Needs List

This page will contain a list of equipment and supplies that we are seeking in addition to the continued donations of rice, dry beans, and powdered milk.  Check back periodically, as needs have already changed since the first weeks after the quake and this list will continue to update over time as the nature of the crisis changes.
