In the wake of Hurricane Ike, Grand Turk Islanders are in desperate need of simple items many take for granted, such as clothing, blankets, canned food and toiletries. While monetary donations can be made through the Red Cross as we set up our own fund, we are accepting donations of goods in the meantime. Also, we witnessed firsthand the good work from the volunteers at ShelterBox. The residents of Grand Turk will never forget your generosity.

Any donation you can make will go a long way in helping the victims of Hurricane Ike get back on their feet. Ship what you can to us, and we'll make sure it gets in the right hands on Grand Turk. Donated clothing and linen, if used, must be clean, food items must be non-perishable and all toiletries must be new and packaged.

Donations through the Red Cross can be made by going to the following link:
