Aid for Katrina Survivors

While in the process of looking for my father, I came across many resources being offered by people wanting to help anyone affected by Katrina. I have set up a group in order to bring those needing help and those offering resources together:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KatrinaAid/

The purpose of this group is to provide information and updates on the areas affected by Hurricane Katrina, and to offer a place where those who can offer relief can be matched up with those who need it.

We will be looking for needed supplies donations, offers of assistance or shelter, messages and resources for locating family members. Please post your offers and ideas for helping or sources for more information. i would also like to get together some information about donation drop-off points for each region of the US, possibly local Salvation Army posts, etc.

I would like to have anyone with needs post them, in order to make it easier for those sending anything to help adequately. I know that just about everything is needed right now, and I'd like to get the ball rolling as quickly as possible.

At the very least, it might be a place to help family members and friends find each other.
