Stan from China Hearsay has more information about donating:

通过短信捐款:中国移动、中国联通手机用户以及中国电信、中国网通小灵通用户均可编辑短信1或2,发送至1069999301,即向“红十字救援行动”捐款1元钱或2元钱。
Short Message: Users of China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom and China Netcom may send the number 1 or 2 to 1069999301 to donate RMB1.00 or RMB2.00 to China Redcross Aid Campaign.

Maybe we all can send a text message or two to help aid our countrymen and adopted countrymen.

is it possible to help out as a volunteer 'on location' ?

Thank you so much for posting this!
