Donate to Japan's relief efforts

In place of my usual Giving Back... One Coupon at a Time post, I'd like to encourage all of you to give to efforts to help Japan after their devastating earthquake and tsunami.  The events are still unfolding and the damage is just simply unbelieveable.

Here are some places where you can donate:

• The American Red Cross: You can make a donation on line.  Or, you can text REDCROSS to 90999 and donate $10 to the Japanese relief efforts.
• The Salvation Army: You can also donate on-line here as well.  You can also text JAPAN or QUAKE to 80888 and make an instant donation.
• Heart to Heart International: Only 2% of all donations are kept to cover overhead.  That means 98% of what you send to them will actually make it to the quake ravaged areas.
• The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee is raising funds to assist the stricken areas, just as they did during Haiti's earthquake and the Indian Ocean tsunami.  Read about how Jewish and Israeli groups are helping Japan.

I encourage all of you to give to any of these charities.
