Empty Vessel foundation helps Soudelor victims
The Empty Vessel Ministry Foundation is partnering with the American Red Cross, groups like Help Us Restore Our Island, United 4 Saipan, businesses, and individuals to help provide clothing, water, and basic needs of families whose houses were damaged by Typhoon Soudelor. We have assisted a lot of families whose household items were damaged or destroyed and we are continuing to help.
Families or individuals who need help are referred by American Red Cross to the foundation’s garage outreach store in Gualo Rai. They receive clothing, water, and food depending on what we have. We also assist families in the shelters, with volunteers delivering the items needed.

Thank you to volunteers giving their time even after working hours to the people at the EVM store. Help would not have been possible without the generosity of individuals and groups donating clothes, water, and food.
EVM is located in Gualo Rai on Middle Road across EZ Mart, on the second floor of Kylies Bakery. Families or individuals who need assistance with clothing , water, and basic needs are welcome to be assisted. We ask also for donations of school supplies so that we are able to help children get the tools they need for the new school year. Monetary donations are accepted to aid our efforts and all donations are tax deductible.
EVM appreciates the support and generosity of the community, which is why our store was full of clothes and basic needs to help in times of need. The outpouring of donations touches us. We can be reached at 285-2197 or 483-0162.
