This weekend when I was at the grocery store, the schismatic nun selling pastries drew my attention to a donation mug on the counter specifically for Haiti. Her order has a mission in the mountains of Haiti and was unaffected by the earthquake, but they're mobilizing relief from there as much as they can, and their order is flying down a priest and a nun who are trained medics.
The nuns are usually very quiet, but she couldn't stop talking about the disaster and the death, and how some Haitian nuns were so worried about their family there but just found out that they were okay.
The nun also pointed out that they're taking supplies down, and they were accepting donations of canned goods. I told her that they should post this by the store entrance, and she drew my attention to some printed signs by the checkout that said you could donate (though unfortunately the signs weren't eye-catching, so I don't think many people noticed them).
