Statement on the Earthquake in Haiti from the Montana Association of Churches

Haiti has been struck by an earthquake that has devastated cities and villages and affected over a third of the population. Already one of the poorest countries in the world, Haiti is in critical need of immediate humanitarian response.

As the Board of Directors of the Montana Association of Churches, we commend the governments of the world who are setting aside their differences and working to help the victims of this natural disaster.

And we beseech the generous people of Montana to open their hearts and their bank accounts to these fellow human beings who are suffering so much. Each of our member churches has a disaster relief program, and we can vouch for their integrity and competence. We urge you to give generously to these established charities that bring aid and assistance immediately.

These agencies, supported by the member churches, are able to forward 100% of contributions to the affected areas. They include

Church World Service, http://www.churchworldservice.org/

Catholic Relief Services, http://crs.org/

Lutheran World Relief, ELCA Disaster Relief, http://www.lwr.org

Episcopal Relief and Development, http://www.er-d.org/
