Red Cross Of Union County Accepting Haiti Relief Donations

Union County, NC – People who want to help those affected by the Haitian earthquake can make a donation to the American Red Cross International Response Fund at Redcross.org or by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS. Donations are also accepted locally and will be designated to the International Relief Fund.

The Red Cross is also receiving money through a third party mobile fundraising effort sponsored by Mobile Accord. Mobile donors can text “Haiti” to 90999 to send a ten dollar donation to the Red Cross. The funds will go to support the Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti.

To date we have not received any request for blood products from the government of Haiti. We will respond to any request that we receive for blood products based on availability. This could change as the relief effort escalates.

At this time, we are only deploying Red Cross volunteers specially trained to manage international emergency operations. Please consider supporting your community’s local needs by volunteering with your local Red Cross.

At this time, what we need the most are financial contributions – whether by check, online or by phone. The Red Cross and other the organizations leading the efforts in Haiti most need financial gifts in order to best serve the victims.
