Major Earthquake Strikes Haiti: UCC Issues Emergency Appeal
The United Church of Christ has launched an emergency appeal for Haiti. Thousands of people are feared dead and countless have been left homeless. It is still too early to know the full extent of the damage, but One Great Hour of Sharing is expecting very high loss of life, widespread destruction of homes, schools and other buildings, and major damage to key water, electricity and road systems. One Great Hour of Sharing funds are being rushed to our Haitian partners to support their initial emergency response. As damage assessments are made and plans for relief, recovery and rehabilitation are developed, additional OGHS funds will be shared with our partners. How to Help: 1. Pray for the people of Haiti, their leaders, and emergency and humanitarian aid workers. 2. To assist impacted families, you may, send gifts payable to your congregation marked for "OGHS – Haitian Relief" with the request they be sent through your Conference office on to Wider Church Ministries. OR Send gifts, checks made out to the Rocky Mountain Conference United Church of Christ and marked in the memo portion "OGHS – Haitian Relief" to 1140 West 5th Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80204-4921. OR Send gifts, made out to Wider Church Ministries and marked in the memo portion "OGHS – Haitian Relief" to Wider Church Ministries; 700 Prospect Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44115.
