in_the_blueRemember: you can donate unused frequent flyer miles to charities! I have miles on United that are about to expire next month, and I will donate them to the American Red Cross for travel for aid workers providing disaster response.
I've also donated to Mercy Corps., my local disaster-response group. They're sending a team tonight to the Dominican Republic to procure a truck so they can provide food and fresh water to those stricken in Haiti. After the most immediate needs are met, they hire people to help restore the infrastructure: roads, building sites, and so on. Right now they have a donor challenge: an anonymous donor will match the next $250,000 they raise.
