ELCA Haiti Relief

Thank You

March 2, 2010

      A huge thank you for your wonderful offering of financial support to Haiti.  Currently, members of Trinity have contributed over $1600 to ELCA Disaster Relief for Haiti Relief.  The latest numbers we have on contributions to Haiti Relief by members of the ELCA are $4.2 million dollars, with an additional $320,000 in a matching grant from Thrivent, totaling $4.6 million in gifts.  These gifts have been used to purchase and distribute medicine, drinking water, food, emergency shelter, sanitation and hygiene kits to survivors of the earthquake, in addition to Lutheran World Relief kits, layettes, and quilts.  Greatly needed psychosocial services are also being provided.  ELCA Disaster workers are also doing hands-on work of helping to build shelters and assisting in planting gardens and crops so that those displaced by the quake can once again support themselves and feed their families on an ongoing basis.  The ELCA will be present and working actively to assist for years to come thanks to your generosity and those of Lutherans across our country.
