Stepping up for Haiti - UPS
The UPS Foundation gets to work
A 7.2 magnitude earthquake recently hit western Haiti, causing thousands of fatalities, and leaving countless people without homes or shelter. Tropical Storm Claire came through the country, creating added challenges for the people of Haiti.
In the days immediately following the devastation, UPS and The UPS Foundation went to work, committing more than $500,000 for food, shelter, medical care and aid to those who need it most.
UPS’s work in Haiti is a collaborative effort that includes non-profit partners, UPS Healthcare, Freight Forwarding and Coyote Logistics. Specifically, The UPS Foundation has coordinated three emergency relief flights through UPS Global Freight Forwarding. Combined, more than 1,000 hygiene kits, 3,000 blankets, 2,000 mosquito nets, 65 pallets and flatbeds containing food, water, medical supplies, PPE, mobile clinic kits, tents, mattresses, cots and other critical supplies will be delivered.
