VOLUNTEERS and DONATIONS

One way that you could help is volunteer.

Voluntary organizations are seeking cash donations to assist victims of Hurricane Katrina in Gulf Coast states.
Volunteers should not report directly to the affected areas unless directed by a voluntary agency. Self-dispatched volunteers can put themselves and others in harm's way and hamper rescue efforts.

Another way you can help is by making a donation. Those wishing to donate to the relief effort can find a list of organizations providing services in the Gulf Coast region at the FEMA website
