3/27/2008 8:05:00 AM MPACT donates to Whiteoak Task Force Supplies go to burn clinic for wounded in Iraq, Hope Emergency and soldiers in Iraq
Whiteoak High School students Olivia Osborn and D.J. Hooley helped pack up some of the supplies for Iraq.
The Whiteoak Task Force in Mowrystown recently received a donation from Klay Maynard, president of MPACT, a non-profit organization dedicated to supplying basic hygiene worldwide.
The donation of soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste and sunblock was sent to a burn clinic in Iraq for children and women wounded in the war; to Hope Emergency, an organization that helps the needy with food, clothing and basic supplies; and will also be sent to the soldiers in Iraq.
Mandy Psiaki, the burn clinic contact, commented that the day before the package was sent, a young child had asked if anyone had a toothbrush that he could have. She said all the supplies are greatly appreciated.
