Additional Support for Haitian Community Support and Solidarity (HCSS)
If you or your units are interested in assisting members of the Haitian community in the Springfield, Ohio, area, we invite you also to consider donations of food items to the Covenant United Methodist Church Food Pantry. The button below links to a downloadable list of the food items that are needed for migrants and locals in the community of Springfield. The address of the church, for delivery of physical items, is:
Covenant United Methodist Church
529 Johnny Lytle Avenue
Springfield, Ohio 45506
Telephone: (937) 324-3501
Rev. Merove notes that in addition to food items, funds are also appreciated to pay for migrant associates via LegalShield coverage under his organization, HCSS. As noted in the CRJC article above, monetary donations can be sent through https://www.haitiancss.org/.Monthly LegalShield fees are: single person membership - $30.00 monthly; family membership - $40.00 monthly. Funds may also be sent to help those who are not working pay for rent and utilities. We ask that you please indicate for which purpose any funds are intended so that HCSS can appropriately record donations for income, expenditures, and taxes.
If sending food items please call the Covenant United Methodist Church office at the number above to make appropriate arrangements for delivery.
