Union Plus Matching Donations Dollar-for-Dollar for Haiti Earthquake Relief

The people of Haiti need our help.

Despite the millions of dollars in donations already raised, earthquake survivors still need immediate life-saving supplies such as medical supplies and tents. Plus, the people of Haiti will need support to rebuild devastated areas in the months and years ahead.

Maximize the power of your contribution by donating online and Union Plus will automatically double your contribution to the AFL-CIO Solidarity Center's Earthquake Relief for Haitian Workers Fund. That means your $10 becomes $20, your $25 becomes $50 and your $100 becomes $200.

Union Plus has committed $100,000 through this dollar-for-dollar donation match to help Haitian earthquake relief efforts through the non-profit Solidarity Center.

Your donation will help rush life-saving relief supplies including food, clean water, medical supplies, blankets and tents to the Haitian people currently being distributed through the Confederation of Haitian Workers training center.
