Haiti Earthquake Relief
As you already know, the country of Haiti, one of our close U.S. neighbors, suffered a devastating magnitude seven earthquake yesterday.
The Salvation Army is mobilizing additional resources and personnel to assist with the International relief effort in Haiti. The Salvation Army has had a presence in Haiti since 1950 and currently operates schools, clinics, a hospital, feeding programs, children's homes and church-related programs spread across two major facilities in Port au Prince, close to the epicenter of the earthquake. Salvation Army staff currently stationed in Haiti are in full-fledged disaster relief mode and additional resources are being mobilized.
The Salvation Army's World Services Office, based in Alexandria, VA, has committed $50,000 to the relief effort and the organization is prepared to commit more financial resources, as well as food, water and other emergency supplies, to assist in the recovery.
The organization is preparing to send more than 44,000 lbs of pre-packaged emergency rations to the country, along with emergency disaster teams. The Salvation Army is working with other agencies to identify appropriate transportation for the food. As with all such relief efforts, The Salvation Army will be a part of the initial emergency response while assessing longer term needs of the residents.
The Salvation Army is accepting monetary donations to assist in the effort via, http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/, 1-800-SAL-ARMY and postal mail at: The Salvation Army World Service Office, International Disaster Relief Fund, PO Box 630728, Baltimore, MD 21263-0728. Designate donations "Haiti Earthquake."
