(AP) — Drug store operator Rite Aid Corp. said Thursday it is donating $50,000 to the American Red Cross to help Haiti relief efforts after the worst earthquake there in more than two centuries destroyed a large swath of the country.

Rite Aid also said it will launch an in-store fundraising program next week for customers.

Shoppers will be able to donate funds by buying $1 disaster relief certificates at any Rite Aid store.

All funds raised will be donated to the American Red Cross International Response Fund for earthquake relief.
