Customers and employees of TOP Food & Drug and Haggen Food & Pharmacy stores recently raised $16,905 for World Vision’s relief efforts in Haiti, which was devastated by a Jan. 12 earthquake.
World Vision, based in Federal Way, is using cash donations to send the most urgent of life-saving supplies, such as water and medicine, to Haitian victims of the earthquake. World Vision has been working in Haiti since 1959 and has had an office in its capital of Port-au-Prince since 1978.
“World Vision would like to sincerely thank every individual who donated, as well as Top Food and Haggen for spearheading this important effort,” said Angela Appleton, corporate relations senior representative for World Vision. “Their immediate concern and generosity over the years during times of disaster is greatly appreciated.”
