From blogger Grace:
Many shelters in the disaster zone have closed and families have been placed in their own homes. However, these folks are starting their new lives in empty houses and apartments. The mission of our new blog, Family to Family, is to provide basic necessities for these families in transition.
The Family to Family project is based on the successful model of this Hurricane Katrina Direct Relief! blog - we work closely with contacts in the community, the churches/shelters/relief missions/local leaders, to provide accurate, reliable contact information so your donations are sent directly to individuals truly in need. You can be assured that your gifts will not be stored in a warehouse, unused for weeks.
We will continue our work on this blog, posting donation requests for the shelters that remain open as well as informing readers of volunteer opportunities. The work will continue in the Hurricane Katrina disaster zone for a long time, and we will be staying the course for the long run.
Friends, we hope you can help these families begin their lives anew. Please drop us an email if you have any questions regarding our new project.
Many blessings to all!
I would like to help with your effort to help the hurricane surviviors. I have Baby supplies that I would like to send. I have given money to support the Relief effort through Joyce Meyer Ministries but I want to help in another way. Ilive in Ohio and I would be willing to ship any supplies to whoever needs it. All of it free of charge. Please contact me and tell me how i can help.
