Rockland County Haiti Relief Campaign (RCHRC) formed early 2008 when Haiti faced a serious food crisis and we expanded after the devastating hurricanes hit Haiti later that year. After the 2010 Earthquake, Rockland County Haiti Relief responded to the needs of the people of Haiti by mobilizing a county-wide effort to collect donations of food, medications, clothing, tools and other needed items. We delivered emergency supplies to Haiti and provided human resources to travel over to Haiti and make direct distributions to families, schools, clinics and orphanages. Using experienced volunteers, coupled with our resourceful contacts and collaborations with other NGO organizations in Haiti, we brought success in helping meet some of the many needs of the people of Haiti.
We are a coalition of Haitian-American community NGO’s and supporters dedicated to providing “people to people” emergency relief to the people of Haiti both here and abroad.
Since coming together in early 2008, we have:
- Mobilized a Rockland County-wide food donation drive
- Tailored aid packages supplies to real needs to the people on the ground in Haiti
- Organized a distribution network of over 500 volunteers to work with organizations experienced in managing relief missions
- Personally delivered and distributed several tons of food, clothing, medications and other essential supplies to over 15,000 families, mostly in rural Haiti. Learn more about this effort here
- Launched a Reforestation Project (planted over 10,000 trees in one of the most devastating regions in Haiti), to help reduce floods and restore soil fertility. Learn more about this effort here
- Launched a School Collection Project for Haitian Children both here and abroad (5,000 school supplies)
