IOCC’s network of trained emergency responders, led by Fr. David Kossey, will dispatch Fr. Angelo Pappas, a qualified emergency “first responder,” to the region to work with private and government agencies in order to identify the most urgent needs of those affected and to help meet those needs.
“Right now, the most critical need is for cash contributions to enable IOCC to respond quickly to needs as they emerge,” Fr. Kossey said. “I have been heartened by the eagerness of our local churches to set up shelters and provide food and keep people as comfortable as possible during this disaster.”
Thank you for the ping to this thread and a reminder to call IOCC and make a donation.
The thread also reminded me to go donate some blood tomorrow when I can. I've got that "universal donor" kind of blood they always like.
