Dear Friends,

The devastation in Haiti and loss of life continues to climb, and the need for help with the recovery efforts reached an even higher level with news that this impoverished country has been struck by yet another powerful aftershock.

Longaberger is a company of caring and generous people. Many of our Home Consultants and customers have contributed to the relief efforts in their own ways. The Longaberger Foundation has given $5,000 to Hands Together, a nonprofit organization that responds to the needs of the poor and disadvantaged in Haiti. Many of our employees are also making donations to the American Red Cross.

But the reality is the health crisis is expected to worsen, as millions of people remain in critical need of medical care and basic necessities such as food, water and clothing. We must continue to do what we can to lend a hand.

Financial gifts are the most effective way to help. There are numerous organizations and means to donate. If you do not have a preferred organization, consider the Red Cross, the premier emergency response organization that has partnered with Longaberger in the past on other disaster relief projects.

Donations to the Red Cross can be made by calling 1-800-REDCROSS or by visiting www.redcross.org, where you can earmark your contribution for Haitian relief. You also can reach out to your local Red Cross chapter.

Thanks for helping those in need. We have shown time and again that together we can make a difference in the lives of others.

Love,
