KVNF - Mountain Grown Public Radio for Western Colorado

Disaster relief groups working in Haiti say that what they need is donations of money rather than physical items like food or clothing. Those wanting to donate to help out with disaster relief in Haiti can do so through the Red Cross. There are a number of ways to donate: online at redcross.org/donatemoney, by calling 800-RED-CROSS, or you can donate ten dollars to the Red Cross Haiti effort by texting the word HAITI to 90999.
