Responding to earthquake in Haiti
by Linda Post Bushkofsky

Lutheran women always want to help, don’t we? The news accounts of the devastation in Haiti caused by yesterday’s earthquake have moved many to action. Here are some action ideas for you and the women of your congregation.

You can Pray * Study * Share * Give. Here you’ll find information to support your efforts, provided by ELCA Disaster Response.

So that the churchwide women’s organization can track the amount of giving that comes from the women’s organization, we encourage congregational units to send gifts to

Women of the ELCA
P.O. Box 71256
Chicago IL 60694-1256

100% of the gift will go the ELCA Disaster Response. For gifts from congregational units, use form B.

Individuals can use the same address and should simply note “Haiti earthquake” on the memo line of the check.

Interested in doing something with your hands? Consider making any of the Lutheran World Relief kits or a relief quilt. Information about each of the various kits can be accessed by the links on the right column.
