Those Superdome refugees will soon be pouring into Houston. Many are those who didn’t have the means to evacuate New Orleans. Most have lost everything.
An inner-city Houston church is coordinating an effort with the Red Cross and several area shelters/missions to gather funds and supplies for those relocating to the Astrodome. Money is, of course, needed most. However, if you wish to donate items, here is a list of things they have requested:
Diapers (infant, toddler, adult); syringes; baby formula; blankets; towels; pillows; Wal-mart cards; toiletries (soap, toothpaste, tooth brushes, feminine products, etc.); nonperishable food items (make sure no can opener is needed); batteries; underwear; baby powder; laundry soap; and toilet paper.
You may send donations (money or items) to:
Katrina Relief
