Metrex Cares Single Haiti Relief

On August 23rd 2021, Metrex Realty Owner Meyer Tauber along with Leaders from the Orthodox and Hasidic Jewish community gathered outside Spring Valley Village Hall Tuesday to announce efforts to help those in Haiti devastated by the recent earthquake and hurricane. The crisis was made all the worse by political instability in the Caribbean nation and the ongoing COVID pandemic.

Political and nonprofit leaders from Rockland to Brooklyn collected more than $1 million worth of medical supplies, goods and non-perishable food and packed it into containers, and shipped then to Haiti.

The collections was facilitated by Masbia, a feeding program and soup kitchen that serves New York’s Jewish community. Rockland County Haiti Relief, an umbrella organization for various Haiti-focused nonprofits, will sent people there to help with distribution.

“This is a natural human response from people who are naturally human,” said Meyer Tauber, whose company, Metrex Realty of Monsey, was helping with collecting items from large donors and getting them to Spring Valley for packing up into large containers. 

The Rockland Orthodox and Hasidic communities stepped in as a whole to help with donations.

State Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein of Brooklyn said, “It’s time for the Jewish community to be there for our brothers and sisters in the Haitian community.”
