All donations are tax deductible.
We solicit supplies that will aid the children in reaching their ultimate potential, but we must first begin with the basic necessities that our children, as well as many children in Haiti, are living each day without. Prior to Haiti's earthquake, Hope For Haitian Children Foundation, Inc. had long been coordinating efforts to provide the children with clothing, beds, food, and items for personal hygiene. In the wake of the recent earthquake, the needs of the orphanage, the school, and the people in Haiti have intensified, and there is still now a state of emergency in Haiti. Haitian children and earthquake victims continue to suffer and live without basic needs. Tent cities are still spread out across the earthquake-stricken area. HFHCF collects general supplies for both the school and the orphanage. Check back in for upcoming dates and locations for our pop-up drives.
During the months of April and November, HFHCF collects

Natural Disaster Recovery
Haiti has been the epicenter of the most horrific natural disasters such as tropical storms, hurricanes, and earthquakes for many years. Available resources are scarce and still not enough to even prepare for the next natural event to hit the island as we are still recovering from the previous one. We look to recovery resources to help rebuild and aid those who are in dire need.
