Want to help Japan?

You can start by visiting the Summit just around the corner. A Mission District resident who goes by the name of Doctor Pop will be there from 10 a.m. to noon today working on art to be sold to raise money for Red Cross aid to Japan. He’d like some company, and he’s even reserved a table for all who come by — watercolor paper and paintbrushes included.

Or, here are lists of organizations accepting funds for Japan:

Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California

Doctors Without Borders

International Medical Corps

Give2Asia

Global Giving

She welcomes any story ideas readers may have.
