CWS is there!
From Greek Orthodox to Catholic to the Syrian Orthodox Church of Antioch, Church World Service partners with churches and organizations around the world to respond to disasters. Today the catastrophe in Haiti is no different. CWS has been working with the European agency Christian Aid for years. Christian Aid maintains offices in Port-Au-Prince, making them some of the first responders today even though their offices and employees were affected as well.
CWS responds with volunteers and practical help. When disaster hits, CWS goes into immediate emergency action. Today CWS is already shipping and handing out some of the famous CWS disaster relief kits, guaranteed to make life a little easier for everyone affected. The monetary donations received will go to the clean up and rebuilding of schools, orphanages, homes and lives… See Church World Service : Kits Program for more information. CWS stores these kits for just this type of disaster and therefore is able to quickly respond to immediate needs in a practical way. The kits are donated by churches and individuals all over the world all year long and are welcome at anytime but right now is the time to act.
Who is CWS? Church World Service provides sustainable self-help and development, disaster relief and refugee assistance in over 80 countries around the world. Their mission statement reads: “Church World Service works with partners to eradicate hunger and poverty and promote peace and justice among the world's most vulnerable people.” You can click here to check out the list of Church World Service member denominations and communions.

Thanks for all the information - there is nothing like a personal recommendation. I was just wondering exactly where - usually I write a check but a credit card is so much easier and quicker - I'll know it got there instantly!
Thanks again!
Glad I could help BK! Because of their practical work in so many places, I never question my donations to them. (And frankly it's fun to collect items for the kits - but that's what I get for being a shop-a-holic!)
Great Hub Rope. I hope to make my donation as soon as I get paid. Thanks for letting me know an easy way to do so with a trusted organization.
Thanks for stopping by "Palmer", everyone's help is going to be needed for a long time. Your help will be appreciated whenever you are able. And whatever any of us are able to do will be appreciated.
nice information. Because the long distance. I help them with my pray. I hope it will better.
Very cool, Rope, thanks for pointing this out.
Wonderful organization and a wonderful cause. Thanks for the info!
Great writing. Your hubs are effortlessly persuasive. I was getting worried about the amount of people saying " charity begins at Home". You and like-minded people can restore broken lives. We all can say we live in difficult times Haiti people will love you for this.
Well done.
Thanks Jim, Habee and Sean for dropping by. It's a great organization to work with and the fact that they stay in "crisis mode" all the time, ready to help at a drop of a hat is amazing.
you must opt for doing social working. Nice hub.
Thanks Allergy for stopping by! Carefully selecting how we spend our shrinking resources is important but we still want it to be easy,
