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.

Click one of the servers offered above, then click "> clear, and make a general donation", that takes you to a screen where you can direct your donation to Alabama or Mississippi, or where ever...
Moderator, take the link to the Red Cross off the list of charities and I will double my donation to the Salvation Army.

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.

From the website: "With Your Help, We Will Rebuild
The Mississippi Hurricane Recovery Fund has been set up by Governor Haley Barbour to serve as the states central clearinghouse for corporations, organizations, and individuals to donate much needed money, equipment, goods, services, volunteers, and time to the hundreds of thousands of Mississippians who are recovering and preparing to rebuild from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina."
Does anyone have a phone number for the Nashville TN Red Cross Shelter? I recieved an email about a child there that needs a home. I hacve been unable to get through to the numbers listed as her refrences (probably due to the phone service down there). If anyone can help me contact them please FReepmail me.
