“The Pastor, Dr. Donald Thomas immediately instructed that the church give boxes of hand sanitizers and boxes of N-95 masks to be shipped to Liberia. With these boxes of hand sanitizers and N-95 masks to be shipped to Liberia, these organizations, FACEHS, LITE, ACF with the support and partnership with Women for Women, Inc. and UPUSA/Canada Women Congress, decided to ship not only hand sanitizers and N-95 masks but added other donations to be donated free to the people in Liberia.
