Relief for Haiti
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Haiti, who continue to suffer in the aftermath of this horrific tragedy. When the human family witnesses a loss of life on such large scale, the responsibility to support recovery efforts is vitally important. We have received a number of inquiries as to what Oakland residents can do to help in such a catastrophic situation. According to officials on the ground, the best way to help is to send monetary donations. There are numerous humanitarian aid organizations who have mobilized to provide critical supplies to Haiti, and financial contributions to these groups will further strengthen the lifeline that they can offer.” – Mayor Ron Dellums
