Katrina
There have been several organizations that have been attempting to help bring relief to the victims in wake of Hurricane Katrina. Darby, for example, was approached by her Campus Ministry to donate health supplies. I also have heard of several organizations that are accepting donations on the radio. My question is: What do you think the best way to give support is? Money? Goods? Canned Food? Part of the dilema of donating to 'worthy' causes is choosing the organization that will use your donation most appropriately. So, any insight out there would be much appreciated.

My personal favorite is the American Red Cross. They are the first ones on the scene in almost every national disaster, respond with flexibility and don't have to deal with the amount of red tape the government (aka FEMA) does. The easiest way to help is to give money, and with the Red Cross you know it will get where it is needed most. As new, more specific needs emerge, you can count on other organizations, such as local businesses or even Mich. Tech itself, to start collecting things like bottled water, basic needs items, etc. Any of those relief efforts are also probably well worth it, but cash to the Red Cross would be me first priority. Hope that helps!
