AID REQUESTED FOLLOWING KEY BRIDGE COLLAPSE
The Baltimore-Washington Conference is an active member of Maryland Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD). The church's assistance has been requested to support the 136 foreign nationals residing on the seven ships in the Port of Baltimore following the collapse of the Key Bridge.
Most of the individuals on the ships are non-English speaking. The individuals are able to come ashore during the day but cannot “reside” on U.S. soil. They must return to the ship each night. There is a very specific list of items we are asked to provide.
Skilled individuals from the Seafarers Union are working with the seafarers. The list of requested items is limited based upon the requests and the storage space limitations.
Requested Items include:
· Restaurant gift cards ($25) – Starbucks, Royal Farms, Ledo Pizza, Subway, McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts
· Smart Trips Cards ($25) – trips to/in and around DC.
· Visa gift cards ($25)
· Movie gift cards – Harbor East Cinema and/or Imax @ MD Science Center
· Aquarium Day Pass
· Granola Bars
· Individually packaged sandwich crackers
· Individually packaged dried fruit and/or nut pouches
· Decks of playing cards
You can drop off your donations at Julie Taylor’s office or Calvary’s front office labeled Julie Taylor by May 12.
