Katrina relief

We have talked about donating to the Red Cross to help with hurricane relief. I heard on Headline News last night -- over $200 million dollars donated, already. It really steps up your faith in humanity. But it also makes me feel like we could possibly help in better, more efficient ways. What good will money do to the people down there, where you can't even buy stuff? What they really need is food, water, shelter, stuff, volunteers. To help more effectively and efficiently, I think a route like what Erin has found would be much better.
