Help Rebuild Co-ops in Haiti

A Message from The Cooperative Development Foundation

As most of you now know, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake shook the island of Haiti on January 12, destroying much of the capital, Port au Prince. Millions of people have lost their homes, workplaces, and family members. Thousands have died. The extent of the devastation is huge — beyond imaginable. Many of Haiti’s co-ops have been severely damaged and those they serve are in severe need. Here's a simple way to reach out to our co-op sisters and brothers.

The Cooperative Development Foundation has a fund for the purpose of assisting people in times like these — The Cooperative Emergency Fund. Over the last 20 years, CDF has raised over $275,000 for cooperative relief and rebuilding efforts for ten different disaster situations.

The Cooperative Emergency Fund will be donating all monies received from now until July 2010 to help the rebuilding efforts in Haiti. CDF will be collaborating with international cooperative relief efforts in this endeavor to rebuild those coops affected by this disaster.

Blue Hill Co-op encourages people to contribute to the CDF, clicking the donate button above and on the home page of their website — www.cdf.coop. We hope you can help.

From Blue Hill, the Cooperative Development Fund, and in alliance with co-ops across our world, we are grateful for your support.
