Help Japan

Help Japan [1] by Rob Dobi, found at Design Crush [2].

Here are a bunch of ways you can help Japan right now. I'm encouraged to see how many people are making, organizing and creating ways to raise funds.

Ciao Samin is organizing a US-wide Bakesale for Japan [3] on Apr. 2nd, and here in Seattle it looks like it will be happening at the Cakespy shop. If you can help or are able to give a corporate sponsorship get in touch at bakesaleforjapan@gmail.com, see all the details here [4]. (Last year they raised $23K for Haiti, behold the power of a bakesale.)

At Design Crush there are two round ups: Help Japan [5] and More Ways to Help Japan [6].

A Practical Wedding [7] is giving all of today's proceeds to the UJA Japan Earthquake Relief Fund [8].

Tea and Cookies, who lived in Japan for a number of years, lists all the organizations you can donate to [9], and she shares photographs of her time there.

Old Sweet Song [10] talks about the day of silence on a bunch of blogs today and talks about the For Japan With Love [11] disaster relief organization that they are raising awareness for.

Design Mom shows some simple and striking Help Japan [12] prints.

Rakka Deer [13] is donating all proceeds from selected items in her Etsy shop [14] to aid for Japan. I dig the Atari controller card set.

Here in Seattle Frantic Foodie is holding a Pancake Breakfast [15] tomorrow, Saturday March 19 between 8:30am and 2:30pm at Prune Kitchen [16]. They will be raising funds for the American Red Cross and Peace Winds America.

two additions: Wise Craft [17] and Posie Gets Cozy [18] both have round ups of people and artists raising funds and ways you can contribute.

more: Shelterrific has a good list [19] of fundraising done by familiar names.
