Downtown Golden merchants, Baby Does Clothing and Golden Sweets are supporting donations for Haiti relief through Doctors Without Borders. Windy Saddle Cafe's support will benefit Partners in Health for disaster victims in Haiti.

Golden Sweets owner, Linda List's step-daughter is a member of the Doctor's Without Borders Team now working in Haiti. Lisabeth List has had missions in most of the crisis areas of the world, including Darfur, Sudan, Somalia, Pakistan, East Timor, Sri Lanka, and now Haiti. She views Haiti as one of the biggest challenges of our time and was eager to be sent on this mission.

Doctor's Without Borders is committed to bringing quality medical care to people caught in crisis regardless of race, religion or political affiliation. For more information about Doctor's Without Borders go to http://doctorswithoutborders.org.

Golden Sweets is providing a venue for children to help with the crisis. Chocolate Gold Coins can be purchased at Golden Sweets for $ .50 and all money collected will be donated to Doctor's Without Borders. Owner Linda List felt it was an opportunity for children to feel that they are helping other children. www.golden-sweets.com - 1299 Washington Ave.

Baby Doe's Clothing is providing an opportunity for you to help with the disaster in Haiti and will match your donation, dollar for dollar (up to a maximum of $250). Because we get a lot of traffic during our sale and hope to get your donation off to Haiti quickly, we will be accepting donations beginning January 28 through February 7. www.babydoesclothing.com - 1116 Washington Ave.

Windy Saddle Cafe will be donating a percentage of sales. Go to www.windysaddle.com for details. 1110 Washington Ave.

Come enjoy a day in Golden and support the relief effort in Haiti!
