Fasting and donating the food-money saved is a "new" way to bring about mass participation in charitable giving, provided the fasters are well-enough fed and already buy their food, rather than produce it themselves.

*Note: some of the fasters are fasting three days over the next month, for example, instead of doing three days in a row. Either way works just as well for saving food money to donate to Haiti.

Charities to donate to who are working on Haiti relief:

Haiti Action
Doctors without Borders
Grassroots International
Partners in Health
Action Aid
American Red Cross

For more details about how you can donate effectively, check out Yes!, Mother Jones, Care2, and The Nation’s. You can also watch Free Speech TV’s action update video for more information.
