At last count, text message donations to Haiti have cleared $20 million, and organizations ranging from online retailers to bookstores are teaming up to raise much-needed financial help. Now diners can help the efforts simply by eating out. In New York, Dine Out for Haiti has enlisted some of the city's best restaurants, from the Modern to Gramercy Tavern, to donate 10 percent of the profits from meals on Saturday, January 23rd to Action Against Hunger, Doctors Without Borders, and Partners in Health. On Monday, January 25th, chef Michael White's three restaurants, Convivio, Marea, and Alto, will all be donating portions of their proceeds to the United Nations World Food Program.
