Update on 'PIA Life Box Fakhr-E-Alam' Food Packages -- Warehouses are Full


Due to your overwhelming support, our warehouses in New York, Chicago, Toronto and London are FULL!!!  Words can’t express how grateful we are for your support. We asked for your help and you responded.  Therefore, we ask that you HOLD all shipments/ drop-offs for the next 10 daysHowever, this will vary depending on the warehouse location.  Please email us (contact info listed below) if you are working on 'Life Box' food packages.  PIA has been working around the clock to take as much cargo as possible.   Please do not send ‘Life Box’ food packages until further notice. 


Here is the latest information from PIA:  
  • FOOD and WATER:  At the moment, in view of the dire need of food items, PIA has accorded priority to Life Boxes, as specified on its website www.piac.com.pkPIA is shipping food and water ONLY at this time.
  • MEDICATIONS:  Please stay tuned.  We will let you know when PIA starts taking medications.
  • TENTS:  Please stay tuned.  We will let you know when PIA starts taking tents. 
  • CLOTHES:  PIA is not accepting clothes at this time.  Please stay tuned and we will let you know when they start shipping clothes.  (Also, please be conscious about the quality of donations you send.  Please do not send used or torn clothing.  Clothing builds character and confidence --- so let’s donate items that will make the flood victims feel good, despite the turmoil around them.)
In the coming months, Pakistan will definitely need medications, tents and clothing.  We will keep you posted as soon as PIA starts accepting the above items.  Your patience is greatly appreciated!  Thank you for opening your hearts for Pakistan, in this difficult time.
