Mayor Requests Residents Follow Governor’s Lead on Donations to Haiti
Annapolis, MD (1-15-10) Following Gov. Martin O’Malley’s charge to help the distressed in Haiti, Mayor Joshua J. Cohen is requesting that anyone wishing to donate or provide assistance in Haiti should contact the Center for International Disaster Information.
The surge in international donations comes in the wake of the devastating earthquake that struck near Port au Prince on Jan 12, 2010.
“In times of great need, kind people from around the world want to help by giving their money, or giving their time. I am grateful that so many of these compassionate individuals and organizations can be found in Annapolis,” Mayor Cohen said.
To ensure your contribution makes a difference, Mayor Cohen requests that all donations go through The Center for International Disaster Information, which is a valuable resource to the public, as well as U.S. government agencies, foreign embassies and international corporations. CIDI has established a dedicated page to coordinate Haiti support at: http://www.cidi.org/incident/haiti-10a/
More specifically: To donate cash to a responding organization, which is preferred, go to: http://www.interaction.org/crisis-list/earthquake-haiti

“This is an opportunity for Annapolis to be showcased worldwide for its quality of life and environmental best practice initiatives,” said Mayor Moyer. “It also allows the delegation to learn from other countries and bring those ideas home.
