Central Florida Haiti organization watches as Beryl skirts past island nation

A local organization said it is prepared to help bring supplies to Haiti if needed following Hurricane Beryl.

Maggie Saint Jean, who runs the Daily Bread Distribution Center in Central Florida, is urging the community to donate items to help both Haiti and local residents.

The organization also said it’s challenging to send supplies to Haiti, but they are determined to help.

“Just because it’s difficult, doesn’t mean people aren’t in need. We still have to make our efforts,” Saint Jean said.

Saint Jean said whether it’s gang violence or storm damage, their mission doesn’t change.

“The focus has to be the same,” Saint Jean said. Whether it’s one issue or five issues, it’s the people. Once you can see the people and their needs, then your focus doesn’t change. Things will come and things will go, but our focus will never change.”
