Charity In Action

Charity In Action is a humanitarian and emergency services
collaborative. Conceived as a way to combine and leverage
the commitment of many individual volunteers in coordination
with established aid agencies as well as state and local
governments, our goal has been to bring rapid relief to areas
where there is unmet need, and to continue assistance into the
recovery and rebuilding phases.

Charity In Action is a humanitarian and emergency services
collaborative. It was founded as a grass-roots response to
Hurricane Katrina. Conceived as a way to combine and leverage
the commitment of many individual volunteers in coordination
with established aid agencies as well as state and local
governments, its goal has been to bring rapid relief to areas
where there is unmet need, and to continue assistance into the
recovery and rebuilding phases.

Charity In Action seeks to identify the greatest needs and to
respond. We provide volunteer service work and necessary goods.
We do not offer financial grants.

We try to maximize our effectiveness and conserve resources by:

-Communicating needs to a broad base of supporters
-Organizing donation drives and packing and transporting donated
goods
-Contacting potential partners to solicit direct donations of goods
or services to our beneficiaries
-Raising funds, and seeking discounted rates through competitive
bids on goods and services we must purchase
-Using volunteer labor whenever possible.

Charity In Action is run by an all-volunteer staff and board.
