After going through my budget, I’ve found that I can donate a little more than I had first thought to help Japanese relief efforts and have made a contribution for relief through the American-Jewish Joint Distribution Committee.
In response to my blog post, a number of our readers have recommended organizations also working to help Japanese people displaced by this disaster.
A reader and a friend, a formerly left-leaning lesbian (formerly left-leaning, still lesbian) suggests Operation USA, a group backed by the silver-tongued Julie Andrews.
SoCalRobert suggests giving to the American Red Cross via Amazon.
Jennifer tells us Samaritan’s Purse is a Christian organization backed by Franklin Graham.
ThatGayConservative recommends Shelter Box.
David in N.O. recommends Doctors Without Borders.
To be clear: I only suggested Shelter Box because it sounded interesting in that they provide temporary shelter and necessary supplies. I really don’t know anything about them other than they were featured on Bay News 9.
Sounds worthy though.
