Charlottesville donor steps in to aid Haiti

Charlottesville’s Building Goodness Foundation (BGF) is monitoring news reports from Haiti after a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit the island yesterday.

No foundation volunteers are in Haiti.

According to a news release, an anonymous donor “has issued a $5,000 challenge grant” in support of the House of David Community Health Center in Thomassin, that BGF volunteers helped design and built. The center was dedicated in July 2009.

Nearly $1 million a year goes into the work you’re reading—covering local government, spotlighting the arts, and telling the stories no one else does. If you value that, help fund it for $10 a month (or whatever tax-deductible gift you can afford). Save the free word.
