The massive earthquake in Haiti is a reminder. A reminder of our vulnerabilities, our capabilities and our responsibilities. While volunteer forces in the United States ready for deployment to help in search and rescue, government agencies are coordinating aid. Also coming to light is the how the economic crisis has stressed both charitable and national resources.

When tragedy strikes, it reminds us of values and what’s important. The United States has always been the country ready to help a neighbor and friend, near and far, but will we always have this capability? Have our values strayed, and our resources wasted, so that we have less too offer in times of crises.

Below are a list of organizations coordinating aid to Haiti and in need of donations.

International Red Cross

International Medical Corps
