Required Donations:
Because you are traveling under a religious license, we request
that you make a donation to a religious institution of your
choice. If traveling from Los Angeles, you can pack your donations
separately and pay $1/pound rather than 2/pound for any weight
over 50 pounds.
In this case, the donations would be packed in a separated
duffle bag or box marked " Donations " and clearly addressed to:
The Cuba Council of Churches:
Calle 14, No. 304, e/5ta. y 3ra.
Miramar - Phone 011-537-203-7791
The Catholic Church:
Cathedral Square, Old Havana
The Jewish community:
Patronato de la casa de la Comunidad Hebrea
Calle I, # 259 (E/ 13 y 15)
Vedado, La Habana
Phone: 011-537-832-8953
We need you to promote donations of humanitarian aid. If you
are going to travel to Cuba consider this list as a guide for what
to take to in Havana or to
communities in the countryside.
