How Atlanta Can Help Haiti
Everyone's thoughts and prayers have been with the victims of the Haiti earthquake this week. Many have already made donations to send what they can through means like texting (text HAITI to 90999 to donate $10 to Red Cross relief efforts) or local outreach groups. If you're still looking for ways to help raise funds for those in Haiti, the AJC has a <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://blogs.ajc.com/haiti-earthquake-atlanta-responds/2010/01/20/upcoming-haiti-fundraisers-in-atlanta/">list of fundraisers</a> taking place this weekend. Most donations are only around $10, though I'm sure you're welcome to give more, and some events will also be accepting goods like food, water and medical supplies.<a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://atlanta.about.com/b/2010/01/21/how-atlanta-can-help-haiti.htm">How Atlanta Can Help Haiti</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://atlanta.about.com/">About.com Atlanta</a> on Thursday, January 21st, 2010 at 10:27:01.<a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://atlanta.about.com/b/2010/01/21/how-atlanta-can-help-haiti.htm">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://atlanta.about.com/b/2010/01/21/how-atlanta-can-help-haiti.htm#gB3">Comment</a> | <a href="http://atlanta.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://atlanta.about.com/b/2010/01/21/how-atlanta-can-help-haiti.htm&zItl=How Atlanta Can Help Haiti">Email this</a>
