CSX has announced it will match dollar for dollar, for a two-week period, all employee contributions.

A disaster of unprecedented proportions in this hemisphere is unfolding in Haiti in the aftermath of the January 12th earthquake. Disaster relief teams are just beginning to arrive, but much more help will be needed. The population of Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas is experiencing critical shortages of food, water, shelter, medical, security, and other basic resources.

The best way to give aid at this time is to donate money to organizations engaged in disaster relief. In an effort to help the citizens of Haiti, CSX has announced it will match dollar for dollar, for a two-week period, all contributions made to the American Red Cross (Northeast Florida chapter) by its employees.
