Last update: 1/26 12:03 pm PST, added success of several bake sales

The vegan community is really coming together to help both human and nonhuman victims of the massive Haiti earthquake. You can participate in a number of ways, from your purchasing habits to whipping up some cupcakes for a vegan bake sale. Check out how vegans are helping out and join up. Put you compassion into action.

This list will be updated as often as is necessary. If you know of any group holding a vegan fundraiser to help Haiti, post in the comments!
