I’m glad I didn’t contribute to any charities after Katrina hit because of my concerns for corruption with funds collected. My concerns obviously were with reason.

Never give liberals control of anything but themselves because they will find a way to screw it up or steal from those who they should be helping.

After the waters from Katrina went down (a couple of days in the Metairie area) our church members cleaned our parking lot of debris and started feeding and clothing the people of NOLA and the surrounding area. With the help of CHURCHes and volunteers from across the nation, local donations,and 2nd Harvesters, we were able to feed over 200,000 people for many weeks. People sent in clothes from all over the country. Tents were set up as a grocery, clothing tent, and an a tent where food was served daily. Every cent went to Katrina Victims. As for charities, I don’t know what happened to the donations. Most news coverage was about the 9th ward and the displaced people. But, we were quietly taking care of our own as best we could. It saddens me that if we take another hit by a hurricane we will have a harder time recovering that we already had.
