Walgreens raises more than $1 million for Haiti

DEERFIELD, Ill. Just days into offering customers the option to make donations to Haiti disaster relief efforts at its registers, Walgreens stores across the country have collected more than $1 million.

Contributions are helping the American Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development Fund send much needed assistance and aid to those affected by last week’s earthquake.

Walgreens stores will continue taking customer donations through the end of the month, the drug store chain said.
