ELCA Disaster Response is receiving an outpouring of offers to serve as volunteers in Haiti. As of today, Disaster Response is telling people interested in volunteering that, “due to the instability of the current situation in Haiti, volunteers may not be needed for six months or more.” You can read the full message and sign up to learn more and be notified when volunteers are needed at the ELCA website at http://tinyurl.com/elcavolunteer.

Please note: When volunteers are requested, travel for volunteers to and from Haiti will be the volunteer's responsibility and will not be covered by the ELCA.

The best way to help right now is to remember the people of Haiti in your prayers and to consider giving a financial contribution to support the relief efforts. For information on how to do so, please visit www.elca.org/haitiearthquake.
