Help Haitians Devastated by the Earthquake

Following a catastrophic earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on January 12, Episcopal Relief & Development is reaching out to the Diocese of Haiti to both address immediate needs and prepare for long term rehabilitation work.  Episcopal Relief & Development has disbursed emergency funding to the Diocese of Haiti to help meet critical needs such as food, water and shelter to those affected.  

Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori said in a statement  on the earthquake, "Even under "normal" circumstances, Haiti struggles to care for her 9 million people.  I urge your concrete and immediate prayers in the form of contributions to Episcopal Relief & Development, who are already working with the Diocese of Haiti to send aid where it is most needed"

Partnership is critical in protecting the people in Haiti who are in a very vulnerable situation.  Without your help, our work to reach those in need would not be possible.

Contributions to Episcopal Relief & Development for Haiti
ERD contributions can be made by phone at 1.800.334.7626, ext. 5129, checks can be mailed to P.O. Box 7058 Merrifield, VA 22116-7058, and online donations can be made here.  Please mark donations for "Haiti Relief Fund."
