One more group I can personally vouch for is Breedlove Foods, a private not-for-profit that has provided tens of millions of meals for victims of famine and natural disasters worldwide.

They've sent 6-million servings of food to tsunami victims so far. Every dollar they are given provides 30 servings of soup or vegetables. Since the tsunami they've added an online donations link to their website, and they've already sent more than 730,000 servings of food and 1,000 gallons of water to Hurricane Katrina relief.

Please consider >>> http://breedlove.org/

On yet another front, countries from around the globe have offered ............nothing.

I dunno, I heard a figure like 60 countries have pledged relief funds and help.

Thanks, I will give to my local diocese which will in turn send it to Catholic Charities in LA. No administration costs, 100% will go to the needy.

Didn't Ray Kroc's wife bequeath over $1 billion to the Salvation Army?

Moderator, take the link to the Red Cross off the list of charities and I will double my donation to the Salvation Army.

At the suggestion of writer Michelle Malkin last Friday, I have cobbled together a blogsite called Texas Clearinghouse for Katrina Aid to serve as a clearinghouse for refugee efforts in Texas.

Texas is getting more refugees than any other state -- that's fine, we'll take them all -- but we need help providing them with food, clothing, and shelter. I have listed dozens of churches and other organizations that need your help now or who can help if you need help yourself.

If you are a refugee, you can information that will help you find relief. If you want to donate or volunteer, you can find someone who needs you.

Right now the site mostly covers Houston and Dallas but I will add various churches, schools, and other charities in San Antonio and Ft. Worth tonight. My wife is down at Reunion Arena in Dallas as we speak handing out care packages and otherwise ministering to the refugees as a representative of her employer.

There are a lot of churches and other organizations in Texas that need help in dealing with the problem and I would be most appreciative if you would get the word out.

Many thanks,

Michael McCullough

I don't like the Red Cross either. Their management are a bunch of anti-Semites. Feh.

I've been out of the country for a few days, so I haven't been able to get online to send money. I generally give to the Salvation Army.
