Many are asking about donating items:
While there will be some essential goods that we will ship to Haiti, the fact is that we won’t be able to accept most offers of GIK.

However, USAID has set up a new site to collect commodity offers at this link: (http://www.usaid.gov/haiti/).

From interaction.org's how to help page:
Volunteering

In the aftermath of humanitarian crises, it is critical that the response of the international community is immediate and well-coordinated in order to save as many lives as possible.

* Volunteers are asked to have previous disaster or international experience or technical skills (for example, medicine, communications, logistics, water/sanitation, engineering), and are usually from neighboring communities not affected by the disaster.
* Well-intentioned foreigners, lacking technical skills, disaster experience and familiarity with the local culture and language, can seriously complicate relief efforts.
* Those with technical skills or international experience who would like to volunteer should register with the Center for International Disaster Information (CIDI) after reading this page.
