How you can help Haiti

Now that we've made it through our own bout of inclement weather, we'd like to take this chance to remind you that those affected by the earthquakes in Haiti are not so fortunate. Help is still needed, and every little bit counts.

The Los Angeles Times published a great list of organizations that we've taken the liberty of reposting for you. Of course, it's always a good idea to do your research to make sure you are working with a reputable agency; CharityNavigator is a good start for learning more about each agency, what they do, and how they use their donations.
