Haiti relief update

As the world reacts to the ongoing disaster in Haiti, please know that relief donations to the ShareLife office are making a difference on the ground.

Our partners at Development and Peace have two staff members on the ground in Haiti, assisting the Caritas Internationalis team there. (CCODP is the Caritas representative agency in Canada.) You can follow their activities as they coordinate the distribution of food water and supplies to the residents of Port-au-Prince. "Caritas organisations have sent 200,000 blankets, 15,000 tents, water cans and purification tablets, as well as food water and hygiene kits. Twenty trucks of aid arrived in Port-au-Prince on Sunday."

Please remember that there is a special second collection happening in parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Toronto this weekend. Also, a prayer of the faithful will be read in solidarity with the people of Haiti. (more...)

To date, more than $115,000 has been donated through our website alone. Thank you for your generosity as we collectively extend a hand to our Haitian neighbours in need.
