If you would like to help

Other than the items that the news channels are telling you, like clothing, baby supplies, medical supplies and food, you also need to think of the displaced prisoners. They are people too. This came from an email from one of our local churches where DH and I once took part in a ministry. This is a very ministry oriented church that spends their weekends tending to a large garden where they grow vegetables and fruits to give to homeless shelters.

"Chaplain Toney ofAngola has requested the following for 1700 - 2500 male and female inmateswho have been evacuated from New Orleans and surrounding parish prisons:
shampoo,
soap,
deodorant with NO ALCOHOL listed in the product ingredients
tampons
new bras (practical kind)
new underwear for men and women (practical kind)
shoes (practical kind)
pillows
towels
Chaplain Toney has called this a 'desperate need'. Charlie deGravelleshas offered his home as a distribution point for the supplies. If at all possible please donate what ever you can and deliver to Charlie byWednesday of next week. "

If you want to donate to this, email me and I'll help you by either letting you use me as a vehicle or I can give you this church's address to send money.
