Helping Haiti

By Michelle Shirk • Feb 1st, 2010 • Category: Features

What an amazing difference Trinity Members and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans make together!
More than $2 million has been donated by members to support the efforts of four Lutheran relief organizations. This means the full Thrivent Financial pledge of $1 million has been reached, and the combined $3 million is Helping Haiti now.

Yet, the needs are great and growing, so we encourage your continued donations to:
•Lutheran World Relief, www.lwr.org/Haiti/
•ELCA Domestic Disaster Response, www.elca.org/Our-Faith-In-Action
•LCMS World Relief/Human Care, www.lcms.org/help/
•WELS Committee on Relief, www.wels.net/news-events/haiti
The government of Haiti is reporting that it will take over 10 years to get Port-au-Prince back to its original state.  And even in that condition, the people were still the poorest in the Western Hemisphere. 

 Everyone can continue to make 100% of their givings go to Haitians in need.  Your donation to the ELCA International Disaster Response ensures that 100% of your donation goes directly to the people in need. To donate now, go to www.elca.org/haitiearthquake or give your donation to Trinity in an envelope marked “Haiti Disaster Relief.”

Please remember your blessings, and continue to help the Haitians through your prayers and generosity.
