CRISIS IN HAITI: Last week, our News Department covered the devastation Hurricane Matthew wreaked in Haiti and the immense human toll and suffering as a result of it. 47ABC Reporter Justina Coronel is working with a coordinator from one of the local Haitian churches which is accepting and shipping donations. Justina placed a box in the break room on Saturday for the collection of clothes and non-perishable food items for your consideration. It will be there until Wednesday. If you prefer to make a monetary donation, you can go to http://newstorycharity.org/hurricane/. Thank you for considering this special need.
