NEMO Equipment, Inc., manufacturer of AirSupported™ and Extreme Conditions Tents™, sleeping pads, backcountry accessories and purveyors of Adventure Racing exuberance since 2002 have donated over $30,000 in tents and sleeping pads to Haiti relief efforts. The New Hampshire local shelter maker stitched together a partnership with Mark Richey Woodworking, a local Newburyport, MA business, and together they were able to deliver 50 brand new Nano OZ tents, footprints and Removable Insulated Floors, as well as a few previously loved tents from its employees. 

 

“To date we have collected over 500 tents and 700 sleeping bags, with yet another shipment ready to go. We were thrilled when NEMO offered to add 50 brand new tents and insulated floors to our shipment. Up until now, we had been gathering donations from many individuals and small groups and hadn’t had one of this size. We have also had a tremendous amount of help from Fed Ex and other local companies who have donated transportation for our deliveries as well as boxes for packaging. ” said Mark Richey, President of Mark Richey Woodworking.

Richey added, “I have volunteered in Haiti since the earthquake through Partners in Health, who have been in Haiti for many years, and The Boston Foundation. Both organizations have allowed us to be the collection point for their Haiti Relief drives. It is through them that we have a location in Florida to deliver the donations and the means to get them from Florida to Haiti. I know the demand is high – every tent will be used.”

“We are excited to be able to donate these much needed shelters and Removable Insulated Floors® to the people of Haiti. They have endured so much and hopefully we’ll be giving at least a few families one less thing to worry about with a temporary shelter and soft ground to lie on,” said Cam Brensinger, NEMO president and founder.
