What Can You Do to Help with the Haiti Earthquake Relief?
The devastating 7.0 earthquake that hit Haiti on Tuesday, January 12, has generated a lot of concern, naturally, and with it questions about what the Seventh-day Adventist Church is doing to assist. Members in the U.S. are also wondering what they can do to help. We hope the following will provide answers some of those questions.
Donate Financially
First of all, ADRA is the Seventh-day Adventist Church's international disaster assistance agency. Adventist Community Services Disaster Response (ACSDR) is the church's agency in the United States, Canada and Bermuda, and is not involved in this international response. But ADRA is on the ground and involved already in meeting the needs of victims in Haiti. The best way to help the people of Haiti is to go to www.adra.org and find the buttons on their site that will allow you to donate financially for this event.
Please realize that there is no cost effictive way to collect clothes or any other items to send to Haiti; therefore, none of our ACS centers will be able to receive goods with the intent of sending them to Haiti.
How to Find Loved Ones
For people seeking to find family members in Haiti, we received the following number as a resource for Americans seeking loved one in this country. This number was provided by National Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD), a multi-agency organization of with ACSDR is a member, and which services only in the United States. Americans seeking information on family in Haiti can call 1-888-407-4747.
