AJE - That's a good suggestion, one that everyone should follow.
Are there really that many people coming this far north, though? From what I'd heard this morning on npr, very few people want to go that far from their old homes, that the "thousands" we'd been told to expect up here just aren't coming.
I found a few more things this morning. There are a few places that are accepting donations of goods in areas where the survivors are massed, including
http://www.dioms.org/ The Diocese of Mississippi and the Houston area Saint Vincent de Paul stores
http://www.svdphouston.org/hurricane...na_victims.htm. They stress, though, that you should only send the things they're asking for, because they're already overwhelmed with donations that need to be sorted and processed. I think I'm going to send to both of these places, in addition to the group Lori Miller was talking about
elseforum.
A different tack:
http://www.hireability.com/ is offering free job listings to people wanting to hire those affected by Katrina and free resume posting for the affected.
