Haitian relief efforts in the neighborhood

Many neighborhood bars/restaurants/schools are holding fund raising events to help victims of the earthquake in Haiti... For instance:

Bespoke Chocolates on Extra Place is donating 100 percent of their profits today toward Americares’s Haiti relief fund. (Via The Feed)

Drink specials tonight at Professor Thom's on Second Avenue...



At St. Brigid Catholic School on Seventh Street and Avenue B...



From Hearth on First Avenue at 12th Street... "The events have particularly hit home for us as one of our own staff members was born in Haiti and has many friends and family there at the moment. In support of him and all those immediately affected by the tragedy, on Tuesday, January 19th, Hearth will be donating 50% of our gross revenues received that evening to help fund the relief effort." (Via Eater)

And I don't exactly know what this is at Zum Schneider on Avenue C and Seventh Street...



On Wednesday, Knife + Fork on East Fourth Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue is giving 20 percent of every customer's bill, including tip, to Haitian relief efforts. (Via Eater)

If you know of any other neighborhood relief efforts, then please let me know, via e-mail or in the comments...
