About this facility

Mission
When disasters happen, real people have very desperate needs. Often, resources to meet the needs become tied up in bureaucracy and bottlenecks. We work with agencies like FEMA, the Red Cross, Salvation Army and others—to be an asset, but not to be controlled. They have great systems, but the church has people who know their communities. But these agencies are not our source for disaster response; rather we look are a resource to facilitate aid directly in communities affected by disaster – all across the country and around the world!

Notes

E-mail :
February 27, 2010

Reports are beginning to come in from the 8.8 Earthquake that rocked Chile this morning. The extent of the devastation is yet unknown but there is damage and people need assistance. Somebody Cares is in touch with our network of churches and ministry partners connected with Chile. We are prepared to respond with appropriate aid as soon as we have enough information. This will not impact relief planned for Haiti.

Please be in prayer for the people of Chile, and for relief workers mobilizing to help those in crisis. And consider a donation to Somebody Cares Disaster Relief for Quake survivor relief in both Chile and Haiti. Donate Today!

Thank you for caring,
Somebody Cares America/International
