Haiti Earthquake Relief

A magnitude 7.0 earthquake rocked the island country of Haiti on Tuesday, January 12. ELCA Disaster Response partners have survived the quake and are already working to serve the people of Haiti.

Your help is needed today to bring immediate relief and continued hope for our brothers and sisters in Haiti. About 3 million people, one-third of Haiti’s population, were affected by this earthquake.

One hundred percent of your gifts designated to Haiti will be used in this vital response effort.

On January 22, 2010, President Barack Obama signed into law the Haiti Assistance Income Tax Incentive Act to assist people affected by the earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010. Cash contributions (including those made by check or credit card) made on or after January 12, 2010, through February 28, 2010, may be treated for federal tax purposes as if such contributions were made on December 31, 2009.
