Title: Tech companies pitch in to help in Sandy’s wake Post by: HCK on November 02, 2012, 03:00:54 am Tech companies pitch in to help in Sandy’s wake
In the wake of Sandy, technology companies are going all out when it comes to relief efforts. From text-message donations to cooperation in providing services to customers, recovery is under way. As the above photo of Hoboken, New Jersey, shows, help can't come soon enough. A little money goes a long way Donations via text messages are a popular way to easily give money to charities in need. At least four different groups are using this method to raise money in $10 increments for recovery efforts, which appear as a charge on the texter’s bill. Those interested in donating to the American Red Cross should text “REDCROSS” to 90999; texting “STORM” to 80888 helps the Salvation Army. Two animal charities are also asking for help: texting “HUMANE” to 80088 donates $10 to the American Humane Society, while texting “PREVENT” assists the ASPCA.
