Most of us are in denial and shock about what’s happening in New Orleans and all around. Many organizations are already responding, and could use our help financially. It’s a hard reality of our world that we know so much about suffering, and yet living in Oregon my personal response is so limited.
Here are some groups doing immediate relief effort; these links take you to donation places, if available, or information, if they aren’t set up for web donations. On Sunday in worship, we’ll have prayer and info on how to donate:
The Red Cross
Friends Disaster Service
The Salvation Army
Operation Blessing
Northwest Medical Teams is another very reputable, local, Christian relief organization collecting funds for hurricane victims.
