red cross

email i received from my Relief Society President

Red Cross officials are asking people to carefully consider the best way they can help — which is most often a monetary donation or partnering with the Red Cross to raise money.Susan Thomas, communications director for the Utah region, said a quick way for people on the move to donate is to send the text message "Haiti" to 90999 — which will automatically send a donation of $10 to the Red Cross. Texters will then be billed for the donation on their next cell phone bill.Donations to the Red Cross International Response Fund — used for international relief work — can be made by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS or online at http://www.utahredcross.org/ and clicking on the "donate" tab.
