American Red Cross donations for Hurricane Sandy relief now being accepted through iTunes

In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, you can once again contribute to the American Red Cross’ relief efforts in the United States directly from iTunes. Apple’s music store is simply facilitating donations to the foundation, and thankfully 100 percent of contributions go directly to the Red Cross. You can donate anywhere from $5 to $200 via iTunes, but Apple warns that it “may not qualify for any tax deduction or other tax benefits.” Of course, you can always donate directly at the American Red Cross’ website, and you can volunteer with the foundation, the New York City government, with New Jersey’s state government, and elsewhere.
