The Army chief of chaplains has asked Soldiers and their families to again consider providing assistance to earthquake victims — this time for those in Chile.
A similar designated offering was collected from across the Army in January to provide relief for victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Then, Soldiers and their families donated $574,285 for relief in that country, with money being sent to the Red Cross to provide assistance.
The Army’s chief of chaplains this week requested installation and medical center chaplains to hold a designated offering no later than the weekend of April 11 for victims of the Chile earthquake two weeks ago. Chaplains will let those in attendance at services know when funds collected will be designated for Chile relief.
