Christian suppliers, retailers and music artists continue to send relief help to disaster victims in Haiti, which was struck Jan. 12 by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake, causing thousands of casualties.

Kerusso recently gathered four pallets of items--including 2,800 T-shirts and 800 pairs of flip flops--from the Berryville, Ark.-based apparel company to be sent to Haiti through Operation Compassion. Vic Kennett, CEO and president of Kerusso, said he hoped that those receiving the donations would somehow see "a hope for new beginnings."

Meanwhile, Family Christian Stores continues to accept donations for World Vision to aid the victims of the Haiti earthquake. Through the charity The James Fund, Family is matching donations made by customers, and all funds collected will be given to World Vision.

Elsewhere, Third Day--which has donated $20,000 from the group's Come Together Fund to World Vision's Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund--has challenged fans to give as well. Click here or at World Vision's Web site for more information.
