The UPS website says this:


Service to Haiti suspended; UPS provides aid
http://www.ups.com/img/1.gifService Update
UPS is providing financial support and emergency logistics assistance to help survivors of the devastating earthquake in Haiti. We are working with relief organizations to transport much needed supplies and food to the area. If you wish to donate to the relief efforts, UPS encourages you to work directly with the following organizations:

The American Red Cross - www.redcross.org
CARE - www.care.org
UNICEF - www.unicef.org

UPS is not accepting shipments from individuals or local organizations due to the logistics challenges in Haiti. Service will resume as soon as conditions allow. Shipments to Haiti made prior to the earthquake are temporarily being held at UPS facilities in Miami.

The UPS package guarantee does not apply when transportation networks are disrupted.

Thank you very much for the update i had gotten the info i posted from a news site but i guess things have changed because the roads and streets are blocked with cars,trees,bodies and daubery they say its difficult to get the supplies to where they are needed so its about strategy... I will continue to watch the news and see if there are any new ways to help.

It is just so unbelievably tragic.

We too have lost many Canadians. One woman who was a Nurse from Almira( a small town here in Ontario) had just landed in Haiti doing Volunteer work & she has died also. Almira is an area that is considered farm land. They have an excellent second hand book store that my husband & I often frequent. We have been going there for years & a percentage of the money raised at the book store goes to Haiti. For years these people have been going there, providing computers, books, & other supplies to the locals of Haiti. So our prayers are with these families & all the people of Haiti who have lost loved ones.
Peace
