Donate for Humanitarian Aid

Midwest Tornadoes
Click here for FEMA's website for tornado relief, with information on how to donate money, goods and/or time.  You can donate directly to Team Western Kentucky Tornado Relief Fund or to The American Red Cross as well as other organizations on FEMA's list. ​

​HAITI
The earthquake and subsequent hurricane in Haiti has created a humanitarian emergency.  This has been compounded by the deportation of refugees seeking assylum.  You can help with donations to a local Vineyard non-profit or to these Jewish organizations.
  
Island effort - this link explains their work and provides a donation link.

Joint Distribution Committee  (JDC)     https://donate.jdc.org/give/352946/#!/donation/checkout?c_src=publication&c_src2=ShortURL

AFGHANISTAN
There are many refugees worldwide who have fled the Taliban and are in need of help to resettle elsewhere, including in the United States.  HIAS is providing this help, as they did for refugees at the end of WWII, and for the decades since.  To see details about their work for Afghani refugees, and to make a donation toward their effort click here.
