Haiti Earthquake Relief

The ELCA, through the Lutheran World Federation, is already responding to the critical needs of the survivors in Haiti.  Thankfully, the LWF offices and staff on the island were spared in the earthquake, making it possible for work to begin immediately.  The ELCA has long-standing relationships in Haiti through several organizations and the Lutheran Church in Haiti.

In anticipation of your generous gifts, ELCA Disaster Response has authorized $250,000 for immediate relief assistance in Haiti, with the possibility for an additional $500,000 as the full scope of this disaster continues to become clear.  Your gifts are needed now to make this type of rapid response possible.  Please hold the people of Haiti in your prayers.
