The Katrina blogburst
Late to post, but I wanted to do my part for the Katrina blogburst. Half a million people who need new homes -- Jesus, have mercy!
I sent my first Katrina contribution to Catholic Charities USA
More hurricane relief agencies:
The Red Cross
Mercy Corps
More on the blogburst, including a big list of relief organizations
The evacuees who sheltered in the Superdome are being moved to the Houston Astrodome. Many of these evacuees are children.
The Houston Society of St Vincent de Paul is organizing children's relief in The Largest Sleepover in Texas. They're getting together new sleeping bags, pillows, PJs and slippers, and crayons and coloring books for these displaced children. (thanks to Amy Welborn for this link)
