Disaster Relief Opportunities

 

You know that the need in Haiti is great - you've seen the news reports on TV and read updates from Gretchen in Haiti.  Your response has simply been overwhelming; we thank God for all that you have done to reach out and minister to the Haitian people!  Thank you!  

 

Many are asking for more ways to make an impact in the communities where Lifeline is ministering to the Haitian people.  Below are some opportunities for you, your family, church, organization, school or workplace to be involved in. 

  

Opportunities for You, Your Church or Your Organization

 

1) Pray! 

For the Haitians, Lifeline's ministries in Haiti, our US volunteers, our team in Haiti, relief efforts, and more.

 

2) Financial Contributions 

The relief efforts and repairs will be significant and will take time.  Relief efforts include: purchasing items in Haiti (fuel, propane, food), shipping supplies to Haiti (medicines, tools/equipment, supplies), spiritual outreach, emotional counseling, rebuilding (schools, churches, and Children's Home) and more.  You can donate online or mail a check to Lifeline.   

 

3) Donate Relief Items

Collect needed items: peanut butter, canned meats, powdered infant formula, shoes, and bedding.

   

4) Serve in Haiti

Join a mission trip to Haiti to help with rebuilding efforts - either individually or organize a group from your church/organization. If you are interested in more information, email Laborlink@Lifeline.org.

 

5) Serve in the US

Organize a collection drive for relief items.

Volunteer at Lifeline's Westerville, Ohio office and warehouse.  (Contact Dana@Lifeline.org to schedule a time.)  

Join Lifeline's food bagging events, which will be scheduled throughout 2010.  Contact Ben@Lifeline.org to host an event at your church or details for a food bagging event near you.

 

6) Spread the Word

through Facebook, Twitter, Lifeline's website, email updates and conversations with friends and family.
