About one-third of Haiti's 9 million people may need aid following the devastating earthquake, according to the Red Cross. People who live in the poorest nation in the western hemisphere need our help. As food bloggers and people who read about food, let’s help those who desperately need nourishment, shelter and medical care.
Beware of scams. Below are a few websites that have reliable places to donate money. Some of them overlap. Just choose a site you’re comfortable with, or donate $10 to the American Red Cross relief for Haiti just by texting 'HAITI' to 90999
Click here on CNN’s website for a list of places to donate.

ReplyDeleteYou have to hand it to the 20-somethings - this texting-phone donations are fast and easy. If you are able, do consider donating.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm so glad you posted this. Laura and I also posted about the earthquake and how to help just after the news came through. It's so important for us, as an online community, to work together in any way we can when others need help since we have this ability as bloggers to reach out quickly. I hope it makes a difference for those who are suffering right now.
