All the help is lovely, but please remember-

-the little towns in the area that were not hit by Katrina but are now being overwhelmed by refugees.

My friend Jenn lives in one such town this link will lead you to her blog. http://justjennstuff.blogspot.com/

In addition to the Red Cross and the Salvation Army here are a couple more organizations that people can donate to.

http://www.braf.org/ Baton Rouge Area Foundation
http://www.convoyofhope.org/ Convoy of Hope

When you make your donation remember to earmark it for Hurricane Katrina Relief. Put in in your check/money order line, or tell the representative.

This is going to be a long haul folks, please done let your generosity move on when the media's attention does. These people will need us and the aid we can give them for years to come.
