Want to help Haitians in Springfield, Ohio? Here are some places to start.

Amid a climate of harassment and racist sentiment toward Haitians in Springfield and other parts of Ohio, access to resources, particularly financial and mental health, has become even more crucial for the Haitian American community there. Here you can find a list of mental health resources. 

Financial support can help organizations on the ground respond to the immediate needs and threats of the community, from ongoing harassment to digital security. Here are a few places to visit if you’d like to make a donation or get involved. 

The Haitian Times will continue to update this list as we verify more avenues to lend a hand.
