USA Today in its Jan 13 issue, p 6A, has an article "Faith-based aid bolsters Haiti relief." It lists various religious groups and the amount of aid they have furnished in Haiti during the year. (Article at

But no monetary value is given for any category. I submitted a query to the website asking what money value the church placed on its contributions. I'll let you know if I get an answer.
