Help for Haiti

Help for Haiti: From GovGab:
"Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and like last year the Corporation for National and Community Service honors Dr. King’s
legacy by asking Americans to make the King Holiday a national day of
service at Serve.gov.
Haiti continues to recover from the devastating earthquake that struck last Tuesday. Serve.gov suggests that in addition to doing something in your community, you also do something to help those in Haiti. The best way you can do this is through a financial contribution.
The Federal Trade Commission blogged about how to donate safely last week. Below are some ways you can make a donation.

• Donate $10 to the American Red Cross – charged to your cell phone bill – by texting "HAITI" to "90999."
• Contribute online to the Red Cross
• Contribute online to Mercy Corps
  
• Other resources can be found at the Center for International Disaster Information
  

Finally, if you are looking for a loved one, The State Department Operations Center has set up the following
phone number for those in the U.S. and Canada seeking information about U.S. citizens in
Haiti: 1-888-407-4747. You can also send an email to the State Department. Please be aware that communications within Haiti are very difficult at this time.
