Don't know. You might check the State Department website.
Just wow, what an awesome thread, thanks for taking the time.
Wolfstar I have a question about how to help people who were evacuated to Houston. I'm sure many of them left with either the clothes on their backs or a change of clothing or two.
Somewhere today I heard a request for donations for new-not-yet out of the package male and female undergarments. I haven't heard of any request for good condition gently used clothing though.
In talking with several friends in Houston and also knowing the state of my own closet here in SW Ok, I have clothing I've never worn or have only worn once or twice. As an example of the type of clothing I'd like to donate...I had surgery last August and lost over 20 pounds. Prior to surgery I wore a size 4, now a size 0 hangs on me. I had gone on a mini shopping spree before I had to have surgery so I have quite a number of jeans, shorts and a few dressier pant outfits with matching tops.
Does anyone have any idea if there is a drive going on to collect nice clothing? I also have little worn dressy type shoes I could donate. Size 4 is an odd size and I hate to see it go to waste when there are people so desparately in need. I'd even be more than willing to pay a visit to WalMart to buy clothes in larger sizes and donate them. I want the people who need the clothing to actually get them.
Anyone have a clue who or where I should contact to find out more information.
I'm also going to post this on the Texas board in case someone there has information. I'll be willing to pay postage and fold and box the clothes up.
