Boedecker Cellars raised $250 for Haiti Earthquake Recovery

A 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck near Haiti's capital of Port-au-Prince Tuesday afternoon, collapsing buildings, including at least one hospital. Tens of thousands are feared dead in the largest quake to strike the impoverished Caribbean nation in 200 years. Power is out, telecommunications are spotty and food and water are reportedly growing scarce.

While thousands of miles separate us from the destruction and devastation in Haiti, we want to do what little we can to reach out to those in dire need.

For the month of January, 10% of all sales through Boedecker Cellars website and tasting room will be donated to MercyCorps efforts in Haiti.

We also encourage donations directly to MercyCorp through this fundraising page. No amount is too small, as millions of small donations quickly add up to real assistance to those in need.

The first members of a Mercy Corps emergency response team are en route to help survivors. Follow the latest updates at mercycorps.org/haiti.

Thank you!

Project summary

Project summary
Just hours after a catastrophic earthquake struck Haiti — killing thousands and displacing up to two million people — Mercy Corps began deploying an experienced, field-tested emergency response team. Upon arriving in Port-au-Prince, we went immediately to work, talking with displaced survivors about what they needed most. We delivered 15 tons of food to the city's biggest hospital. We got clean water flowing again in medical clinics and shattered neighborhoods. We ensured a reliable income for survivors by creating a cash-for-work program, which also began revitalizing failing local economies. Today, our team is working with survivors, local authorities and partner organizations on long-term plans — including job creation — that will help Haiti rebuild better and stronger.
