Agencies Send Hurricane Relief

Hurricane Mitch tore through Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake. Millions of victims throughout the region are now struggling to cope with the aftermath of Mitch’s destruction.

During the holiday season, America’s private humanitarian relief agencies are helping communities in Central America affected by Hurricane Mitch recover from the worst natural disaster to ever hit the region.

Anyone wishing to help out can send a check, marked “Relief for Hurricane Mitch,” to any of the following agencies. The agencies pledge that financial contributions will be used where they will do the most good.
