Also the Adventist Foundation


Also the Salvation Armyhttp://www.salvationarmy.org/ihq/www_sa.nsf/vw-news/3BA710B2E3E570788...


Those are good with fine reputations. But there's lots of warnings
about bogus charities springing up too. I got a call today from some
one for the "Haitian National Relief Fund" , when i heard the
typical "boiler room" in the background, I hung up. But legit or not,
I won't donate over the phone, especially to those who wish credit
card info.


Red Cross, Salvation Army... Why go anywhere else and pay someone to set
up in Haiti when The RC is already there?
