The devastation in Haiti is unbelievable, and I hope you are praying for the millions of individuals and families who are affected by the recent earthquake there.

In a statement, President Obama said, “With just a few hundred miles of ocean between us and a long history that binds us together, Haitians are neighbors of the Americas and here at home.” He called the earthquake an “incomprehensible tragedy.”

As you probably know, Focus on the Family is not a relief agency, but if you want to contribute to trusted organizations which are already providing needed assistance to the people of Haiti, here’s a list to start with:

This isn’t intended to be a a comprehensive list. I’m only listing these because of established working relationships that Focus has with them. There are, of course, hundreds of fine organizations doing work to help in Haiti. If you’d like to see a list of more than 40 trusted Christian organizations, all members of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, with established works in Haiti go here.
Join me in helping, won’t you?
