Relief For Haiti
As we search for substantive ways to help in the wake of the immense earthquake that devastated Haiti, the Presbyterian Church (USA) has created a page on the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance response in Haiti with links to updated reports and directions for donating through through PDA. The site has updated a number of times as this post was prepared, so check there regularly for newer information on PDA’s ongoing response to the crisis.
The home page for Presbyterian Disaster Assistance has a prayer for Haiti and includes an iniitial report on PDA’s response. An excerpt:
PDA is rushing an initial $100,000 from One Great Hour of Sharing and designated funds to help provide immediate emergency relief to the affected people. Funds are being sent through our ecumenical and local partners working in Haiti.
You can read more in-depth information from PDA here: their Situation Report – Haiti.
Learn about other relief efforts and more ways to help and donate (while making sure your donations go to a legitimate aid group) at this page of links and resources.
