I have added two links under a new heading Donate for Hurricane Katrina Survivors. The Knoxville Chapter of the American Red Cross link is provided for monetary donations and to stay up to date with the shelters and evacuees as they make Knox County their home.

My church First Baptist Concord is a collection point for supplies that the Red Cross is needing in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. The Red Cross and the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief teams work together. The Southern Baptist Relief teams normally clear away debris and cook meals while on site, which allows the Red Cross to work with the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the victims.

If you can’t donate cash contributions, you maybe able to assist with the items that First Baptist Concord is collecting.

Do what you can and keep the evacuees in your prayers.
