Ways to Help in Haiti

Wondering what you can do to help the suffering in Haiti?  Here are some practical suggestions.

Make a CWS Kit  - For those seeking additional ways beyond donations, Church World Service, a key relief partner of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is providing hygiene, infant and medical kits. These kits are assembled by volunteers and shipped to people in need.   For individuals or groups wanting to assemble kits, visit the link listed.  Kits can be dropped off at the Religious & Spiritual Life Office in the first floor of Jarvis Hall at TCU. http://www.churchworldservice. org/kits_main

Stay Aware and Involved - Various departments and student groups will be coordinating their own efforts in the months ahead. Post what you're doing at the Facebook group "Horned Frogs Reaching Out to Haiti" or email faith@tcu.edu to receive occasional updates and let us know what you're doing.

Volunteer Locally - by getting involved with our local Chisholm Trail American Red Cross chapter, you join others who provide assistance during various disasters and relief efforts.  This can include providing safety and health services, transportation, education, disaster services and much more.  Click here to volunteer http://chisholmtrail.redcross. org or email faith@tcu.edu if you're interested in Red Cross volunteering and training with others at TCU.
