In many ways that makes good sense. It's pointless to ship water around when there's plenty nearby. Toys are not needed for survival. There are warehouses full of sorted compact packaged food, virtually no one can cook anything just yet. There's only one road into N.O and it's not in very good

The nice thing about worn clothing is, you don't worry about tearing it up when you get down to the grunt work. After a good days slime tossing, it makes good rags for more slime. No need to wash it if washing things is tough to do and no need to seperate whites and colors. [Make it not

I have a question, beyond the standard donate cash issue, which is a given. We know several people who have lost everything in New Orleans, and who are now in our area temporarily. They are taking matters into their own hands in large measure, and local churches are helping to accumulate

I went to a red cross meeting last night for those who will be coming to our area last night. I was rather surprised they were refusing to take clothes, food, toys and things, saying they had all they needed, and instead saying to give them money instead. They even said that if you already bought

Hi, Linda, Sounds like you are doing the right thing and are being very generous. We visited a homeless shelter this summer. This is what we learned about their clothing needs: Most of the homeless are men and they have drug, alcohol and mental problems (1/3 of them). They didn't have

Oh, yes. The refugees are obviously different than the regular homeless. I just wanted you to know that your items don't need to be new. I'm not trying to say we ought to give our junk away, but a worn out pair of shoes is better than no pair of shoes. I even looked at prices at Goodwill, a
