Seattle Food World Help for Haiti

I've been seeing the tweets from local food folks offering help for Haiti. I thought it might be a good idea to round them up in one place. If you're heading out to eat or buy food, maybe check the list; you might be able to grab a bite and do some good all at once. I'll keep this updated as I see new events posted.

Also see the West Seattle Blog's list of fundraisers.

Also see Nancy Leson's list of restaurants with benefits - including some not listed below - here.

And here's a listing of some music shows that will benefit Haiti.
