How to help the people of Haiti

From my post at OSV Daily Take today:

If you are looking for the best way to help victims of the Haitian earthquake that has killed thousands, click HERE for a list of organizations, including Catholic Relief Services, Catholic Charities, Caritas, Food for the Poor and others. The list includes links to organization sites.

In addition, the U.S. bishops are urging parishes to take up a special collection this weekend for the people and church of Haiti. Collections will support the efforts of Catholic Relief Services, which has already made an immediate commitment of $ 5 million for emergency supplies.

CNS Blog has posted John Thavis' unedited interview with Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York, who is chairman of the board for Catholic Relief Services. You can view the clip below:

I donated via CRS yesterday. Still feel so helpless. Lots of prayers - it's all we can do right now besides donating funds.
