Saving the Gulf CoastThere are a bunch of ways to help the folks hit by Hurricane Katrina. If you want to contribute to the Gulf Coast hurricane relief effort, there's the American Red Cross. You can donate online
here or call 800-HELP-NOW.
My preference, however, is the
Salvation Army. There are several ways to donate to the SA's hurricane relief fund:
OnlineAmericans are donating so much money to help hurricane victims that the Salvation Army has set-up more secure servers to accomodate the online traffic. Go

As the SA website notes, "a $100 donation to The Salvation Army will feed a family of four for two days, provide two cases of drinking water and one household clean-up kit, containing brooms, mops, buckets, and cleaning supplies."
So much for so little. Please help.
