Your generous gift to the UCC's Haiti Earthquake Relief fund will enable our Haitian and international partners to offer immediate emergency relief as well as long term recovery and rehabilitation to the families and communities devastated by this tragedy. 100% of donations received by the UCC will be used for relief and recovery initiatives. Recent legislation makes it possible to deduct cash charitable contributions to aid victims of the Haiti earthquake on 2009 Tax Returns. Read more HERE. We are also collecting For UCOM.
