Salvation Army personnel in Haiti continue to work with community leaders in nine of the worst-hit areas to ensure that the most vulnerable people are supported in the aftermath of this traumatic earthquake. As well as addressing practical needs – such as food, clean drinking water, shelter, diapers, and bedding – trained and experienced team members offer emotional and spiritual care.

Global shipping and logistics services provider UPS has generously supported the relief efforts by freighting supplies from The Salvation Army’s Emergency Disaster Services warehouse in Florida to a distribution hub in Haiti. The pallets transported by UPS included 22,000 face masks, more than 100,000 disinfectant wipes and around 7,000 heavy-duty trash bags.

Every item will help vulnerable communities with the arduous task of cleaning and restoring houses and other premises hygienically and in a COVID-safe manner.
