U.N. Designates Salvation Army a Leader in Haiti Relief Efforts

by Jim Knaggs on February 15, 2010

The United Nations has named The Salvation Army the “lead agency” responsible for the well-being of the Haiti earthquake survivors and to serve that community and have a prominent voice to communicate their needs of food, water, shelter and security.

The Salvation Army has so far received more than $9.8 million through online, telephone, text message and mail donations. Corporations have also been extremely generous, with FedEx donating $100,000 to the relief efforts, United Parcel Service of America Inc. contributing the use of its planes for transport of personnel and supplies, and Deutsche Post DHL providing fuel to ensure the continuance of the operations within Haiti. To date, The Salvation Army has distributed more than 1,530,000 meals, 19,000 gallons of water, hundreds of tents and tarps, as well as baby items and medical supplies

The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
