How can you help?

First, take time to read some of the news articles about what is happening in Haiti. Take time to consider how desperate you would feel if you were one of the hundreds of thousands of people who have lost their family members and homes.

Canadians Arrive Home
ShelterBoxes tents being deployed at hospitals
6.1 magnitude aftershock hits Haiti
Haiti homeless estimate hits 2 million

Next, visit ShelterBox Canada and learn about the work this group does around the world. Watch their videos and see how important basic shelter can be to the lives of those who have lost everything.

Finally, join eagle.ca in our ShelterBox Challenge. Initially we wanted to send two ShelterBoxes to Haiti. Each ShelterBox costs CDN$1,000. For every dollar you contributed, we matched it until we, together, had purchased two ShelterBoxes.

We then set to work on the next three ShelterBoxes. eagle.ca contributed 25 cents for each 75 cents you donated for the additional ShelterBoxes until we had committed to five ShelterBoxes to those in Haiti who have lost so much.

As of January 20 we are working on box number ten! We have received tremendous support from the community. Many groups are holding fundraisers to assist in the effort.

How can you contribute:
- make an online banking payment on your eagle.ca account. Send us the details and we'll be sure to allocate those funds to the eagle.ca Haiti Relief Challenge.
- drop a cheque off at our office at 26 Chapel street in Cobourg.  Make it payable to ShelterBox Canada
- call us during business hours at 905-373-9313 or 1-877-37-eagle to make a contribution by credit card
- consider a fundraising event at work or school

For each donation we will issue a receipt acknowledging your contribution. We will forward all contributions to ShelterBox Canada and they will issue official tax receipts for all contributions of $20 or more.

Please consider our challenge. The people of Haiti are in desperate need and we can all help.
