Haiti Earthquake Response |
|
On Jan. 12, 2010 a 7.0 magnitude earthquake, followed by several powerful aftershocks, struck off the western coast of Haiti causing buildings in Port au Prince to collapse and chaos as people fled the damage. The destruction and chaos has left thousands without homes and hundreds of thousands injured, isolated, and in need of immediate aid. More information on the situation in Haiti. For information on fundraisers in your community, call us at 982-7330. Business hours are now back to regularly scheduled hours of operation. The Winnipeg and Brandon offices will be open Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm and closed Saturday and Sunday. |
