I know donating $$$ will help, and we will be making a substantial donation. But I am sitting here doing searches on releif efforts where I can actually load up a pickup truck with chainsaws, gasoline, work gloves, a small generator, bottled water, etc., and volunteer about 3 weeks of my time helping clear streets so utility crews, etc., can start doing there jobs. I know I can't do this in the N.O. area. I have friends in Gulfport MS, but have no way to figure out how to get started, contact them, etc. I am sure I am not the only one...
