Earthquake in Haiti - If you are a donor to the Mission and Service Fund of the United Church, you are already contributing to earthquake relief through Action by Churches Together (Act Alliance), a United Church partner which responds to natural disasters worldwide. Members of ACT Alliance are already in place, assisting those affected by the earthquake. The ACT Secretariat in Geneva is coordinating the relief operations of its members. If you wish to provide additional support for earthquake relief, you can donate through St. Andrew's by clearly marking your cheque or envelope for the Emergency Response Fund.
The United Church works with two partner organizations in Haiti: The Methodist Church of Haiti (a district of the regional Methodist Church in the Caribbean and the Americas) and the Karl Lévêque Cultural Institute (ICKL) Donations to this fund can be sent to:
