Red Cross Donation: Japan Earthquake/ Asia-Pacific Tsunami

I know this isn’t a deal or anything, but I recently discovered this site and thought I share it with you in case you would like to make a donation to the Canadian Red Cross and help Japan recover.

On Friday March 11, 2011, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake hit Japan. This has triggered 4 metre waves in Japan and tsunami warnings across the Pacific coastline. Thousands of people are reported dead, and many more are injured or missing. The earthquake has caused fires and severe damage to buildings, leaving millions of households without electricity….

Canadians wishing to help support relief efforts underway are encouraged to contribute by:

•Donating online
•Calling 1-800-418-1111
•By texting the word ASIA to 30333 to make a one-time donation of $5*
•Donating at a participating bank branch
•By contacting their local Red Cross office. Cheques should be made payable to the Canadian Red Cross, earmarked “Japan Earthquake/Asia-Pacific Tsunami” and mailed to the Canadian Red Cross National Office, 170 Metcalfe Street, Suite 300, Ottawa, Ontario, K2P 2P2.

* A one-time donation of $5 will be added to your mobile phone bill. Standard messaging rates and additional fees may apply to donation texts.
