CyberGuy Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 I am going to buy several cases of bottled water with 36 bottles per case and take it to the SECC Truck at one of these locations. I will see what non perishible food and other items I can buy. Every little bit helps. If every one chips in say $50 per family in food and clothing we can turn this into a tide of aid. THings are deaparate. There is over half a million people who are displaced and without food and clean water basic items we take for granted like toothpaste and brushes and toothbrushes etc. Find where someone is donating in your area. A local radio station is doing the same thing in Los Angeles in Van Nuys. http://www.kzla.com/events/hurricane_katrina_relief.aspx Quote Riverside CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Thank you so much, Cyberguy for showing your caring for these desperate ones. It's good to read these activity help reports from various churches and other organisation for Katrinka huricane victims. We know that the love in the world is growing cold one to another. WE who are active as God's called out ones are still see by the Father as salt and light in this dark time. Turmeric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
