The number is 1-888-407-4747.

Be advised that due to high call volume, you will hear an automated recording. From this recording, you can press 1 if you’re calling about information on family members or press 6 if you’re calling to offer assistance or make a donation toward the relief effort.

Texting Donations for Haiti Releif

To facilitate contributions to the relief effort, the Red Cross has set up a special text message campaign, whereby you can text “HAITI” to 90999 to make a $10 donation that will simply be billed on your regular cell phone bill. Singer Wyclef Jean’s foundation Yele Haiti has also set up a similar service to donate $5 by texting “YELE” to 501501.
