The pictures and videos that we have all seen on the news will stay with us for a long time. Many of us have cried over the children and others whose lives were lost, and we have rejoiced over the stories of true miracles\u00a0that have taken place.<\/p>\n<p>At CablesAndKits, one of our core values is to &#8216;Serve Others&#8221;. We feel this is a prime opportunity to serve the people and communities affected by this tragic event, and at\u00a0the\u00a0same time share the love of Christ with them. \u00a0The families that are affected by this disaster have immediate physical needs and we want to help.

In\u00a0speaking\u00a0with\u00a0the\u00a0church, their immediate needs are both money and supplies. CK and staff are\u00a0going\u00a0to help and we want to get the word out to all of you so you know the ways in which you can help also.<\/p>\n<p>Two of our awesome team members, Denisia and Jordan, are spearheading this initiative and\u00a0have been\u00a0working\u00a0very hard to get\u00a0everything\u00a0set up here at the office. \u00a0We are making our office available as a collection site for\u00a0others\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0community and surrounding areas that want to contribute supplies. \u00a0We are planning several <!--more-->shipments to go out over\u00a0the\u00a0next few weeks.
