YOU CAN HELP - PART TWO

Just a few weeks after Hurricane Katrina devasted the Gulf coast, Hurricane Rita has hit land. Fortunately, Hurricane Rita has not been nearly as costly in terms of lives lost, but there has been a lot of property damage and a lot of people have been displaced. Help is needed for the victims of both hurricanes.



Give to the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, or the charity of your choice that is doing relief work in the aftermath of both hurricanes.

One of my favorite charities is "Oblation" via the Community of Christ. Oblation contributions in the month of September have gone go to relief efforts for the victims of Katrina and contributions are already going to help the victims of Hurricane Rita. You can donate online here and read more here and here .
