A: We work with the local community to determine when and where the needs are. In some cases our distribution trips will be planned well in advance, in others they will be on short notice. Still other times the plans may change several times depending on the affected area and the situation they are dealing with. It is of paramount importance that our presence is helpful to the community, not disruptive. It is critical that the donations are given to families at a time when they can receive them and store them, making use of them to recover and rebuild.
So a simple answer is that we will make our distribution trips as soon as it is safe and appropriate to do so, according to our contacts in the region.
