Haiti Earthquake Disaster Relief

On January 12, 2010, at 5 p.m. Haiti was hit by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake, the most powerful to strike the Caribbean nation in 200 years. The quake's epicenter was only 10 miles from Port-au-Prince, the country’s capital with a population of about 1 million. Thousands are feared dead and many more injured. It is known that the quake inflicted large-scale damage to Haiti’s infrastructure. Hospitals and health facilities were destroyed, and the capital was thrust into darkness as electricity went out across the city.

The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), the world’s largest Jewish humanitarian assistance organization, is collecting funds on a non-sectarian basis for relief efforts following the catastrophic earthquake.

If you would like to support the JDC in these efforts, you may visit their website or make a grant from your Donor Advised Fund.

 


The 50th annual meeting of the Jewish Community Foundation was held on December 9, 2009.
