The Salvation Army CANNOT Accept the Following for Haiti at This Time:

Requests to Volunteer:
At this time we have no way to send volunteers to Haiti from the Midwest.  We truly appreciate your willingness to help, but the situation in Haiti is very dangers and fluid, and there are no facilities to house Haitian survivors or injured.  It would be impossible - at this point - to be able to host volunteers.

Donations of Goods:
We have received no requests for donations of goods, furniture, clothing or other material gifts from Haiti.  Gifts of in-kind material are always needed by your local Salvation Army Thrift Store.  If you wish to donate please call 1-800-95TRUCK or visit www.satruck.com.  Please keep in mind that acceptance of material goods for "disaster survivors only" is not possible, as the logistics and added expense for transportation is not practical.
