Katrina Relief
 

Can we brainstorm a way to start some sort of collection for the victims of Katrina? I want to open a sort of discussion on how we as the denizens of HDC can make a generous contribution to the victims of such a violent storm.

We need:
Water
Nonperishable food items
Blankets
Basic medicines (OTC)
Money
Ice
Anything else that anyone can think of

What are some of the ideas you guys have?
Lets get together on this, right!

I would like to see some of these countrys help the USA out. God knows we have been there for everyonelse. guess we will find out who is behind us.

I think this is a great idea Haunted. Now, on with the list.

Clothes

Ok, that's all I can think of currently. You took most of the one's I was gonna say. I'll think of some more later.

I have no clue as to how we can get anything there, but as soon as a way is found, I'm down to help next week. Unfortunatly I am broke until then.

I'm sure a web search will turn up dozens of ways that we can all take our items to the same organizations in each of our areas? I'll have a look in just a minute.

Anyone know if local fire stations are helping? I know after 9-11 I cleaned out my closets and took all my things to them

Just think alot of these people lost practically everything, so anything you can gather up to send will be appreciated I'm sure...

aside from the stuff Haunted listed

personal hygiene stuff
books
magazines

I think it would be really cool if we could set up a relief thing that the members here could contribute to...

I'm searching for any organizations that are taking food and clothing donations, so far it's cash only. We'll NEED some sort of organization to go thru...I can't think of any way we could set up our own...anyone?

That would be cool. I'd participate like many others would.
