Everyone's heard about the disaster in Haiti. Medical Teams International (formerly Northwest Medical Teams) is an international aid group based in Portland, Oregon. I've long admired their work and supported them through donations when trying to respond to a crisis. They are an explicitly Christian organization but they represent the "good" side of that faith perspective, i.e. providing services to anyone and not using their aid as a tool for evangelizing.
If you are looking for a way to respond to the Haitian tragedy please consider Medical Teams International as a possible place to donate. They are sending their first response team on January 14th and more aid will follow. Their main web page includes a link to donate specifically to this operation.
