How to Help Boston Marathon Victims

With nearly 200 injured and three killed in the Boston Marathon bombings, people across New England and the nation are wondering what they can do to help.

The American Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts has opened a disaster operation center and is asking locals to notify loved ones of their whereabouts on its website.

Here's a quick list of what you can do to help, courtesy of The Huffington Post:
