Phone Number (517) 316-1500     Haiti Earthquake Information (as of 01-14-2010) The devastating 7.0 earthquake that hit Haiti on Tuesday, January 12, 2010, has generated a lot of concern, naturally, and with it questions about what the Seventh-day Adventist Church is doing to assist. Members in the United States are also wondering what they can do to help. We hope the following will help you find the answers. First of all; ADRA is the Seventh-day Adventist Church's international disaster assistance agency.  Adventist Community Services Disaster Response (ACSDR) is the church's agency in the United States, Canada and Bermuda, and is not involved in this international response. But ADRA is on the ground and involved already in meeting the needs of victims in Haiti. The best way to help the people of Haiti is to go to adra.org and find the buttons on their site that will allow you to donate financially for this event. Please realize that there is no cost effective way to collect clothes or any other items to send to Haiti. Therefore none of our ACS centers will be able to receive goods with the intent of sending them to Haiti. Also, for people seeking to find family members in Haiti we have been given the following number as a resource for Americans seeking loved one in this country. This number was provided by National Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD) a multi-agency organization of which ACSDR is a member, and which services only in the United States.   Click here for an ADRA bulletin insert (1-15-2010).
