Back in 2007, Santa Monica-based audio mix house Lime Studios partnered with the Global Water Trust to create LIME-AID, a Haiti relief nonprofit, which debuted with a charitable auction of postproduction services benefiting children in Haiti (SHOOT, 8/17/07). The auction was supported by numerous commercial production & postproduction houses. Today, Lime-aid is at it again, securing Haiti quake relief in the form of gathering and delivering critically needed goods to Port-au-Prince.
Lime-aid has set up a secure donations link on their website at http://www.lime-aid.tv/, plus drop off points for donated items at Lime Studios, Cut+Run, Orlee Klempner Casting, Luma Pictures, Optimus, Final Cut, GARTNER, Chrome, Spotwelders, Brickyard and several Los Angeles area schools.
Bruce Horwitz, Lime Studios partner and founder of LIME-AID, explained, “As important as donations of needed items listed on our site, donations of money are critical to insure safe passage of these items to where they are needed. Dovetail Furniture has secured a trucking company that will transport the container to Miami, where it will then be shipped to Port-au-Prince. Air Freight will be extremely expensive, as well as secure transport to the orphanages.”
Collections will be distributed to the ANA Children’s Center and Brebis de Saint Michelle Orphanage. They will also be made available to the communities that surround these facilities.
Items Sought for Lime-aid Quake Relief:
— 25 or 50 pound bag of rice
— Dry beans
— Milk powder
— Liquid formula
— Peanut butter (in plastic jars)
— Dried meat
— Spaghetti
— Cooking oil
— Bleach tablets
— Multivitamins
