ORANGEBURG, N.Y., Feb. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- In light of the Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti, Nice-Pak/Professional Disposables International, Inc. (PDII) has donated products and money to both Feed the Children and the American Red Cross Haitian relief fund to help those affected by the disaster.

The New York-based company has already donated 20,000 cases of products to Feed the Children, a non-profit aid organization that runs multiple clinics in Haiti and ships supplies directly to those clinics that have been serving as makeshift hospitals and assistance centers since the earthquake.

Products donated include baby wipes, miscellaneous personal care products and alcohol pads.

"Our associates have rallied together across all our sites to raise money for the relief efforts, which truly underscores the Nice-Pak/PDII spirit and dedication of our employees."

The company is also working with medical and local relief agencies such as Rockland County Haiti Relief and Konbit Neg Lakay to launch a non-perishable drive to collect needed items to help those affected by the earthquake.
