How to help rescue lives in Haiti

The International Rescue Committee is grateful for the outpouring of support and interest from all of you wanting to help earthquake survivors in Haiti as they cope with the latest crisis to hit their shores: Tropical Storm Isaac.
Here is some information about how you can best make a difference:
I want to make a gift to help the IRC rescue lives in Haiti: Please donate to support our work in Haiti.
I want to volunteer: We are very grateful for your generosity, but the IRC does not send volunteers to our overseas programs, even in emergencies. There are many other ways to help including:
- DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Fundraising: Set up a personalized donation page and ask your friends, family and community to donate to help rescue lives in Haiti.
- Spread the word on Facebook and Twitter. Keep updated as we get news from our team in Haiti and share our updates.
I want to donate disaster relief items: Unfortunately, we cannot accept in-kind donations of disaster relief items from the general public. These items often include offers of air travel, clothing, food items, etc. Additional information on why the International Rescue Committee and other non-governmental organizations adhere to these policies can be found on the Center for International Disaster Information website.
See our special report for the latest updates from Haiti.
Thank you!
