Numerous organizations, including Catholic agencies, are accepting donations to assist with their emergency response to the devastating Aug. 14 Haiti earthquake that left more than 1,400 people dead and unmeasurable destruction across several main cities.

In the Archdiocese of Baltimore, Archbishop William E. Lori is encouraging parishes to designate poor box collections or second collections to benefit earthquake victims. Funds collected will go to Baltimore-based Catholic Relief Services. Parishes should send collected money in a check made out to Archdiocese of Baltimore c/o Fiscal Services with a note for Haiti Emergency Relief.
