Donate Tent For Haiti at Coachella
By Team JamBase Apr 16, 2010 • 11:40 am PDT
AT COACHELLA THIS WEEKEND TO PROVIDE TEMPORARY RELIEF TO THE CURRENT HOUSING ISSUE IN HAITI
A Home in Haiti, Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, and Shimon Presents have joined forces to help with the temporary housing issue in Haiti. They will be collecting camping supplies and gently-used tents at both Coachella Music Festival and Stagecoach Music Festival to send to the people of Haiti.
The recent earthquake in Haiti claimed over 200,000 lives. However, it has affected many more. Hurricane season is less than twenty days away in Haiti and there are more than 700,000 men, women, and children displaced from their homes with nothing but sheets and tarps to shield them from the rain.
Many people buy tents before a festival and never use them again. Now, there is a chance to help someone in need by turning them in at the end of the weekend. Festival patrons are also encouraged to bring gently-used tents from home. Tents for Refugees will be collecting them and A Home In Haiti will ship the tents almost immediately after the festival comes to an end.
Several festivals will be joining forces with Tents for Refugees this summer. Join us for the kickoff of this amazing program in the Coachella Valley:
Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival – April 16-18, 2010
Stagecoach Music Festival – April 23-25, 2010
HOW TO DONATE:
-Festival-goers will be able to donate tents & camping supplies at the Main Info Booth, located in the campgrounds of both Coachella & Stagecoach Music Festivals in Indio, CA.
-To make a cash donation or to purchase a tent online that will be donated directly to the cause, please visit www.ahomeinhaiti.org.
