Haiti Earthquake: How to Help

It’s a sad time for the people of Haiti. A tragedy like this reminds us that life is precious and short and that we must live life for others … not forgetting about those around us. If you can, do your part to help. 

It’s easy:

  • To donate $10, text “HAITI” to “90999″ and your donation (charged to your cell phone bill) will be given automatically to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts. 
  • To donate $5, text “Yele” to “501501” and your donation (charged to your cell phone bill) will be given automatically to Yele Haiti, Wyclef Jean’s grassroots org. For more information, call 212.352.0552
  • Monday, January 18 is Martin Luther King Jr’s National Day of Service. Find a local volunteer opportunity!

As Dr. King once said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: what are you doing for others?”
