Dear San Diego Magazine readers:
Our thoughts and prayers here at San Diego Magazine are with the people of Haiti and Chile. Below are ways to donate or help locally with the relief effort.
AMERICAN RED CROSS
Select "International Disaster Relief Fund" at your credit card payment page on the Web site, or call to donate over the phone.

SALVATION ARMY
The Salvation Army is mobilizing personnel and resources to send to Haiti and Chile in response to the earthquakes. Monetary donations are the most critical need as supplies and personnel are gathered and shipped.

THOMAS JEFFERSON SCHOOL OF LAW
Vera Valdivia, a 2009 graduate of Thomas Jefferson School of Law and children's rights activist, is one of the fortunate residents of Haiti who survived its devastating earthquake, but the orphanage she runs wasn't as fortunate and is in desperate need of donations. Valdivia has four adopted Haitian children.
Any amount will be appreciated. Checks should be made out to Thomas Jefferson School of Law and on the memo line should state “Haiti Orphanage.” Checks can be mailed to Thomas Jefferson School of Law at 2121 San Diego Ave., San Diego, CA 92110 or dropped off at the reception desk during business hours at 2147 San Diego Ave. in Old Town. A receipt for the tax deduction and a donation acknowledgement will be mailed to donors.

Chris Bessenecker of Project Concern has already left San Diego for Haiti. His goal is to build connections to begin funneling aid into the more rural communities outside Port-au-Prince.
