Change for Haiti

Earthquake Relief for Haiti.

It's everywhere: What can I do? How can I help the people of Haiti?

The answer is as simple as spare change and a jar. And while the idea may seem simple, our belief is that you shouldn't wait until you have “enough” to give, instead, you can give what you have and ask those around you to do the same. Spare changes, loose bills, whatever you can give, it will make a difference for the millions of hungry, sick, hurt and displaced people of Haiti.

Our goal is to place change jars in as many locations as possible around the country. In schools, offices, libraries, local businesses, gyms, restaurants..anywhere your community members gather. All you have to do is print a label, attach it to a jar and put it out there.

Change for Haiti is a grassroots fundraising effort seeking to urge communities to action. On this site, you will find flyers, jar labels and information about where funds will go. We're not a formal organization, we're an idea. Our goal is to provide those who want to help with a resource for ideas, along with the materials and encouragement to move forward.

All we ask is that you give what you can today. Then encourage your friends and family to do the same. Together, we can make a difference.

Hope begins right here, right now, with you.
