Dear Members:

Many MSNVA members have enquired about organizations providing relief to the people of Haiti. As many efforts are taking place simultaneously, sifting through the work of organizations and the impact of your donations can be an arduous task. Therefore we have compiled the list of resources below to assist you in your decision making process. The list includes information about their respective missions and contact information.

COMMUNITY COALITION FOR HAITI has set up a restricted fund so that 100% of your donation will be used to help those in need in the areas of Haiti hit the worst by the earthquake Even the smallest amount is a treasure to those without food, water, medicine, or help at this time. A number of Northern Virginia physicians are currently already on the ground providing health care.
