    Arrow Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS): Planes in Food/Supplies to Haiti

    The International Private Investigators Union (IPIU) aids it's union members and families for disasters and other welfare needs through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS).

    In the wake of the devastating earthquake in Haiti, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is mobilizing resources to address the most pressing needs of the people in the Caribbean nation.inline image Images of collapsed buildings and devastated families tell the story of the widespread destruction.

    Two planes, one departing from Denver as early as Thursday and another leaving from Miami later this week will each include over 80,000 pounds of food and emergency resources such as tents, tarps, water filtration bottles and medical supplies donated by the Church. Transportation is being provided by Airline Ambassadors and Food for the Poor will aid with distribution in Haiti.

    “We are constantly assessing needs to determine how our resources can directly help the people of Haiti,” said Nate Leishman, manager of the Church’s humanitarian emergency response efforts. “We are fully committed to this ongoing process and doing our best to help wherever we can.”

    These new shipments are in addition to emergency supplies being sent by truck from the Dominican Republic including personal hygiene kits and supplies for newborns announced early Wednesday by the Church.

    “We express our sympathy and prayers on behalf of the citizens of Haiti following the recent devastating earthquake,” said Kim Farah, Church spokesperson.

    All Latter-day Saint missionaries serving in the country are safe, and Church leaders continue efforts to account for Church members in the area.

    I think it's great the IPIU aids it's members through the LDS church. I was told by a trusted, personal friend, the LDS Emergency Response services were among the first responders after Huricain Katrina. In fact, if I remember correctly, the LDS church had many trucks ready before the huricain even hit ground.
