Categories: Featured Articles | no responses

Here are a few legitimate, established entities accepting donations to support Haitian Relief:

American Red Cross

International Response Fund OR

Disaster Relief Fund

1-800-REDCROSS or 1-800-257-7575 (Spanish) or online at www.redcross.org.

TEXT the word HAITI to #90999 on cell phone for a simple, direct $10.00 donation

You can also make donations in-person @ Red Cross, 5309 Decker Drive Baytown, TX 77520-1413
(281) 424-1300

Multi Ethnic Community Center of Houston

9819 Bissonnet Street
Houston, TX 77036-8446
(713) 271-8988

They are accepting cash, NEW lightweight clothing, Non-perishable foods, baby’s/children’s supplies (disposable diapers, wipes, formula, etc. NOT TOYS)

PLEASE RECOMMEND YOUR STAFF AND OUR CITIZENS TO THESE TWO ESTABLISHED MAINSTAYS IN DISASTER ASSISTANCE. The sad truth is that while disasters bring out all of the best things in American hearts and spirit, they also bring out the human predators and vultures, both here and abroad.

The Haitian people desperately need every cent and every diaper they can get, so please make you thoroughly investigate who you give your hard-earned and invaluable donations to! If you aren’t sure, then use the two above as your avenue of help.
