Hurricane Katrina: Blog for Relief Day Thursday, September 1

A day of blogging focused on raising awareness of and funds for relief efforts to aid those affected by Hurricane Katrina. Sign up to participate here, and see here for the TTLB Katrina topic page.

Jo’s Cafe gave to the Salvation Army, but I encourage you to give to a reputable agency, no matter who.

Victims Needing Assistance from the Salvation Army:

How You Can Help:

1. Financial Donations:

Financial contributions are greatly needed, and provide The Salvation Army with the funds to purchase what storm victims need. They also allow The Salvation Army to assess the unique needs of individuals and families, as well as put money back into the economy of those communities affected by the disaster.

> To donate by phone, call 1-800-SAL-ARMY..

> To donate by mail, send checks, earmarked ‘disaster relief,’ to PO BOX 4857 JACKSON, MS 39296-4857.

> Visit your local Wal-Mart or Sam’s Club to donate to The Salvation Army’s Hurricane Katrina relief effort.

2. In – Kind Donations:

Due to the uncertainty of specific needs and a desire for The Salvation Army to meet as many of those needs as possible, we are not accepting in kind donations at this time. Please take all donations of clothing to your local thrift store to assist them in continued service to your community. Corporations wishing to make in kind donations may contact 1-888-363-2769.

3. Volunteers:
