If you've seen the pictures and heard accounts of the devastating earthquakes in Haiti, you probably can't avoid feeling helpless. But a monetary donation towards this cause is the single most effective way you can help at this point. While there are many heartfelt organizations, both private and charitable, that are collecting donations for Haiti, the American Red Cross is the concentrated authority. Please consider making a donation to the Red Cross to support relief efforts. You can pledge a donation online by clicking on the Red Cross banner above.

The White House has setup an information page regarding donation options as well, which you can access by clicking on the Help for Haiti banner below.
