Several members of Westminster’s Aubuchon family have committed to helping the people of Haiti in the aftermath of the recent horrific earthquake. This group has committed to coordinating a shipment of relief supplies to Haiti, with Aubuchon Hardware in full support of Gretchen Aubuchon's leadership of this initiative.
On February 20th, a committed group of Aubuchon Hardware employees spent their Saturday morning sorting through and packing up over 40 pallets of supplies (two truckloads!) to be shipped to God’s Littlest Angels Orphanage in Haiti. The orphanage is located in the mountains above Pétion-Ville, close to the village of Fermathe. The majority of the children brought to the orphanage are between the ages of newborn and 7 years old. The orphanage does have older children, sibling groups, and children with special needs also waiting for adoptive parents. They provide adoptions to the United States through Bethany Christian Services.
