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.
