Welcoming Hurricane victims to Albuquerque... |
September 04, 2005 |

Dear friends,
I just got back from the Albuquerque Convention Center where I welcomed evacuees coming from Louisiana. The Red Cross has hundreds of volunteers doing amazing work to take care of people who have lost everything, and there will be more coming tomorrow.
Now is the time for us to help people, but we have to do it effectively.
Mannin` the Phones: Red Cross volunteers are taking your phone calls until midnight Sunday and all day Monday and the rest of the week. Call them at 505-265-8514.
I talked to the shelter manager, Wendy Riley, who is doing an incredible job of organizing the living space where people will be housed temporarily.
They’re even setting up a movie night for our guests!
Check the Roadrunner Food Bank’s website, where all of the helping organizations will list the supplies they need at any given time.

The best thing you can do is donate cash to the Red Cross. But there are also some things they need at the convention center to help take care of immediate logistical needs. Wal-Mart just donated hundreds of pillows and other supplies, and volunteers are getting those items to where they`re needed.
SUPPLIES
If you want to donate some supplies yourself, you can take stuff to the Convention Center. The drop-off point is being set-up at the northeast corner of Third and Tijeras, starting Monday morning.
The Red Cross will do local press briefings twice a day to let you know, through the media, what needs they have. You can also call the city`s information line at 311.
CASH DONATIONS
To donate cash, call the Red Cross locally at 505-265-8514. A lot of people have been calling the national 800 number and it`s often busy. You can call the Red Cross locally--they`re staffing the phones until midnight on Sunday, and will be back at it bright and early tomorrow.
The Roadrunner Food Bank is also accepting donations of non-perishable food items and water. They`ll also take things like diapers and soap... the kinds of things we use everyday and take for granted. You can drop donations off at:
The Roadrunner Foodbank
2645 Baylor SE
Open Monday 12-5
8-5 the rest of the week.
Clothing can be donated through the Salvation Army
The Salvation Army
6821 Academy Parkway West
Salvation Army Thriftstores around town
Thanks in advance for helping our guests feel at home.
