Lehigh Valley officials say donations needed after Haiti earthquake | Lehigh Valley Regional News

Allentown, Pennsylvania – International relief efforts are pouring into Haiti in the wake of Saturday’s 7.2-magnitude earthquake.

The island nation has not experienced an earthquake this bad since 2010.

Allentown’s Life Church sponsored an orphanage in Port-au-Prince at the time and has been actively working in the country ever since.

“We have multiple partners across the country, different projects especially now due to the earthquake, and one of the partners closest to the epicenter is the Restavik Freedom Foundation,” said David Mann, director of global missions at Life Church.

Mann says instead of sending a team now, the church is working with Ristavik to assess Haiti’s needs.

He says conditions on earth are chaotic.

Haiti is embroiled in civil unrest, reeling from the assassination of its president and battling the COVID-19 pandemic.

“They can’t get some rest. I mean, it was, you know, very difficult and very painful to watch to see and so we feel like the Jewish community if we can provide any support or comfort and usually that’s true,” said Jerry Zimmerman, executive director of the Jewish Federation at Lehigh Valley: “Now this is in the way of funding.”

Zimmerman says people who want to help can donate to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, which has a team in Haiti.

Officials say volunteers may be needed later to help rebuild, but that donations are needed now. The American Red Cross echoes that message, saying it has activated its emergency response system and is identifying urgent needs.

For more information on how to donate, visit the Restavek Freedom Foundation website, the Lehigh Valley Jewish Federation or the Red Cross websites.
