I just got back from doing volunteer work for the Red Cross, our city's Civic Center has 2000 (and counting) evacuees/refugees from New Orleans.

We are in need of house-hold goods; like deodorant, tooth paste, etc. and also any kids toys or books. These people are stuck in there living on a concrete floor so anything you can send would be greatly appreciated. Send it here:
