Eastern Financial started its "Help Haiti Now" campaign in response to the food shortage and raised more than $5,000. "Help Haiti-Again" was launched for the month of October to raise money for hurricane relief.
Eastern Financial collected money for "Food for the Poor," a south Florida-based humanitarian organization that spends 96% of all donations directly on the people who need it.
