Help for Haiti
Many have seen images and read news reports of the devastation caused in Haiti by last week’s 7.0 magnitude earthquake. You may have also read the warnings of earthquake fraud, of people trying to make a buck off of the catastrophe. More recently, you may have read the sad news of looting and aid being slow in coming to those who need it most.
If you’re like me (wanting to help more than my wallet will ever allow), there are ways – some are even local – to reach out to Haiti during this time:
OutWest Marketing
Wild about the West? So Are We!
Owned by a sweet couple, this “new charm” of Old Town Newhall is a “Western Boutique and Cultural Center”. I have met one of the owners, and she is a sweet lady.
This Thursday, January 21st, they are hosting Fine Art Photographer Frank Lozano and his work. Frank has connections to Haiti and has announced that he will be donating 100% of the proceeds of any of his work sold that evening to Haiti. OutWest will donate 10% of all their online and retail sales to Three Angels Children’s Relief.

Sport Chalet & Soles 4 Souls
Lend a hand by donating shoes today.
I heard about this opportunity at church today. Sport Chalet has teamed up with Soles 4 Soles and is currently accepting gently used shoes for Haiti. The drive is only until January 31st, so if you’d like to participate, now is the time!

We can definitely be praying for the Haitian people, and we should be. Reaching out in tangible ways is good, too. Both are needed.
