For weeks following the devastating Haiti earthquake dozens of local organizations held runs, food drives, and other events to help the victims.
Months later, the push for help has slowed to a trickle, until Sunday.
Students and staff at Holy Cross College put on a concert Sunday to help those people still struggling to survive in the earthquake ravaged country.
They say, the disaster just isn't on the forefront of people's minds these days, but the need is still there.
“The need for continual support is now just as much now, it's just not as prevalent in the media so we're trying to recreate that,” Matt Bellina from Holy Cross College said.
Holy Cross College has a mission in Haiti and because of that, they know how strong the need still is.
They hope Sunday’s concert will help bring food and clean water, as well as medical supplies, to the people of Haiti.
