Like most people, I am always trying to find new ways to stretch a dollar. Yet, when natural disasters hit it is incredibly important that we acknowledge the little we are able to contribute can add up to a lot to help others — be it donating food, money or volunteering.
I found a way, well heard of a way on Facebook of all places, to have a $1 donation to victims of the earthquake in Haiti turn into $2.
Here’s the secret: purchase food at Amigo’s Deli & Market on West Street. 
In an effort to make a difference to help the earthquake victims, Amigos Deli employees pledge to donate all their tips from this week to the Red Cross disaster relief efforts in Haiti. Luis Reyes, the owner of the deli, said he will match the contributions!
A friend of mine picked up lunch there yesterday (it smelled delicious) and said the employees have already raised $700 — in 3 days! Let’s try and double that. I’ve heard great things about the food and now seems like more of a reason than ever to stop and have a bite!
