Everyone we know are scrambling to find ways to help the victims of the earthquake that pretty much destroyed major areas of Haiti. Here are some ways to help:
• Text ‘Yéle’ to 501501 to donate $5 to Yéle Haiti. Your money will help with relief efforts. See more info at www.yele.org.
EVENT:
Saturday, January 16
Nuyorican Poet's Cafe
WORDS: Hip Hop Showcase & Open Mic.
236 East 3rd St NYC / 10pm
Bring food & clothes, or anything you can donate. We will be collecting donations all night long.
5th Column Charities sends it's prayers and blessings to the survivors.
Also, DO NOT donate money to places like The Red Cross (i.e. 9/11 & Katrina) 50% - 60% of their profit goes to "Admin Fees." Not right. So, make sure you know who you are donating your money to.
Be sure to stay in touch with news and your friends about the steps to take in their aid.
Peace be with you!

Haiti in our Hearts
We are planning to collect clothes & food for the victims of the earthquake which devastated Haiti. Stay tuned for more information. In the meantime, collect food and clothing and anything you can to help in their relief.
DO NOT SEND MONEY! 60% of funds that go to most large non-profits/foundations (aka Red Cross) are spent on "admin" fees. We DO NOT accept financial donations either. Think about the items you use everyday (toothbrushes, diapers, soap, water, socks, shoes, etc.) and donate what you can.
We are organizing our strategies at the moment and when we have agreed on our decision we will let you know.
Say a prayer and spread the love. Only WE can help each other.

Extra Day Added
Happy New Year everyone! We have great news! We'll be having a special food & clothing drive THIS SUNDAY (01/10/10)! We have accumulated a BUNCH of donations since November. And as you recall, the weather conditions forced us to cancel December's drive. So we've had to postpone. Since the weather looks good for Sunday (clear with a high of 30 degrees... but CLEAR!) come join us! We're not taking any chances considering the weather we've been having! We're grabbing any clear day we can get right now!
If you have anything to donate, contact us right away. If you live in the Northern NJ area or Manhattan, we can pick up your donations!
THANK YOU!
