Help for Haiti
From congregant Pete Howard:
Haiti Earthquake: Please consider getting involved in supporting the relief efforts in Haiti. Several reputable organizations to give to include: Food for the Hungry (www.fh.org), Salvation Army (www.salvationarmyusa.org), World Vision (www.worldvision.org), World Relief (www.worldrelief.org), World Hope (www.worldhope.org), etc. Right now organizations need money more than people. If you would like to volunteer, please be patient and understand that getting volunteers on the ground in the early days of a disaster is very difficult, inefficient and dangerous. There will be opportunities in the coming weeks and months for volunteers. Right now it is best to give financially and let experienced responders from the above organizations steward your financial resources in these early and chaotic days.
