What Can I Do to Help with the Relief Effort?

1. Make an Individual Donation

Making an individual donation is a great way to get involved—and maybe the best way to help. Relief organizations desperately need cash in order to provide food, water, and medical supplies. From Jan. 6- 19^th there will be drop boxes for cash and checks. Donations can be made during regular business hours at the following locations:

Students can make Da$h donations at the Collis Information desk during this period as well. In addition, at the websites below (see item 2), you can contribute with credit card or check card to many international organizations.

Important Note: Checks CANNOT be made out to “Dartmouth College”. Make the check out to a particular relief organization; a list of these organizations will be provided at the stations and online.

2. Find more opportunities to get involved

For up to date information on the tsunami relief efforts being organized by the Dartmouth community, check out www.Dartmouth.edu/~news/features/relief . Campus relief efforts will also be listed at http://stuff2do.dartmouth.edu, and even posted on a calendar in the Student Activities Office. Additionally, we have set up the following e-mail account to handle questions about how to help or get involved: Tsunami.Relief@dartmouth.edu.
