Re: How to help directly?

Honestly, stuff is less desireable than cash. Donate to the Red Cross, Salvation Army, United Way. Cash does not need to be transported, warehoused, unloaded and it has no expiration date. Plus when the Red Cross buys 10,000 cans of beans (or whatever) they get a far better price than we get buying 1 or 10!
I'm being deployed to MS sometime next week and i'd prefer not unloading/warehousing yet another truckload of stuf!
