Mormon Aid Flows to Haiti's Earthquake Victims
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon church) continues to deliver aid to the people of Haiti. Along with food, milk, and other supplies, the Church has been helping families clear their properties of rumble and debris. Then, they have given the people housing kits. There are at least 600 kits that will be distributed and built to help the people in Haiti. Many still are utilizing the Mormon church houses as shelter.

The aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti shocked the world, and continues to sadden those who are seeing it first-hand. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) immediately organized, shipped, and delivered relief to the people of Haiti. The Church's efforts are far from over. They will continue to help as much as possible, providing volunteers and supplies to assist the victims of the earthquake.
Fortunately, over 4,000 people have found shelter, food, and supplies in the four Mormon chapels in the country.

Many may be surprised to know how involved Mormons are in humanitarian relief around the world. A common misperception that exists about members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Days Saints is that they only care for their own church members. This is a false perception. The Church does not seek the spotlight in times of disaster relief. They are extremely organized in their Humanitarian department, and can quickly assemble and deliver supplies when there is a need, with or without the public's recognition.
