Posted by Ekkie Tepsupornchai in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 08:00 PM
Folks, unfortunately as most of you know, the tragic news regarding Hurricane Katrina worsens by the hour and the need for resources and assistance is tremendous. If you'd like to help out, there are a number of ways to do so. Cash is the best way and easiest method of assistance, though some agencies are accepting food, supplies, and clothing as well. Please note the contact information for a few of these prominent agencies below. The FEMA website provides information on additional agencies accepting donations. My deepest prayers go out to all those affected.

What they provide: shelter, food, and counseling.
AmeriCares
