As most of you now know, as of 5pm yesterday, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake shook the island of Haiti. Most of Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, has been destroyed and millions of people have lost their homes, workplaces, and family members. The extent of the devastation is severe; many of Haiti’s coops have been severely damaged and many of those they serve are in severe need.

The Syracuse Real Food Co-op works closely with the Cooperative Development Foundation. CDF has a fund strictly 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 disasters. The CEF was founded to give stability and constancy to CDF’s emergency relief efforts, many of which are of a longer-term rebuilding nature. The Cooperative Emergency Fund will be donating all monies received from here 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 afflicted by this disaster.

Please assist us with this cause. Donating through the front page of CDF’s website is quick and easy. We ask that you visit the homepage of www.cdf.coop and make a donation through our GOOGLE CHECKOUT function on the right hand side of our website. Your support is extremely appreciated.
