A 7.0 magnitude earthquake, only 9 miles offshore, struck the Haitian
capital of Port-au-Prince on January 12th. Feed The Hungry has contacted
ministry partners on the ground in Haiti, assessing the damage and ready
to respond with emergency supplies.
Your help is urgently needed. Your generous support
today will help provide emergency food and relief supplies to survivors.
Survival Kits will include items like the following:
At the time of this web update, this is the latest information.
"Madame Chenet, one of the workers in Haiti, reported
that the orphanage, school, and three-story medical clinic were spared;
but she could not report on Mercy & Sharing’s Abandoned Baby
Unit… which is housed at the General Hospital in Port au Prince.
News reports have stated that the General Hospital collapsed,
but those reports are yet to be confirmed. We can only hope that the
children at the ABU were spared as well.
Feed The Hungry is in
full response mode… we will send funds to purchase
immediately needed items to help the survivors.
Distribution will be through the hands of our partners, Mercy &
Sharing, and possibly Good Samaritan Foundation"
