Hurrican Katrina
Hurricane Katrina:
How Northeast Ohio Can Help

Millions of our fellow Americans were impacted by Hurricane Katrina when it pounded the Gulf Coast. Countless are dead, tens of thousands are homeless and jobless, and the final economic and human toll will not be known for a long time.

I've heard from many folks back home asking how they can help, from private citizens seeking to make contributions of money or goods, to businesses and colleges hoping to help Katrina's victims, young and old.

I put this Web site together to serve as a resource for anyone looking to help or get more information. While the list I've compiled below is not complete, I hope many of you find it helpful.

Let's all keep Katrina's victims in our thoughts and prayers.
