NECHAMA grieves for the loss of life and the injuries suffered by the people of Haiti as a result of yesterday’s severe earthquake. Given the enormity of the disaster, the extreme disruption of communications and damage to the infrastructure, the situation is very fluid. We are working with national disaster response organizations in order to assess whether NECHAMA can play an meaningful role in the recovery. A number of national Jewish organizations have or will open mailboxes to which monetary contributions can be made. As soon as we have gathered all of those mailbox addresses, we will post them on our “Happening Now” page. We will keep you informed of further developments. Here are our partner agencies who have avenues to donate to the relief efforts.

If you put together groups to go to Haiti, I would like to go. Please notify me if this is the case. I can go anytime.
Thank you.
Would like to know if you might be going there and if you need volunteers
Hello,
I am a teacher in Minnesota AND I am very skilled at assisting and caring for people, especially children, during a catastrophe. I am moved to try to offer my hands on assistance to the Haitians during this crisis and would be so grateful to help your doctors in any way that I can in Haiti at this time. Please tell me how I can physically help!
