The people in Mississippi and Louisiana affected by Hurricane Katrina need
our help. The damage caused by Hurricane Katrina has created a major disaster
for those living in and around these areas, whether they were able to evacuate
or stayed behind.

We will be making donations to the Red Cross and the Humane Society.
As always, the Red Cross can be relied upon to provide immediate and
emergency relief to people affected by disaster and long-term aid to help
them rebuild their lives. This amazing organization continues to need our
donations.
The Humane Society is mobilizing an immediate response to help people,
their pets, and livestock during this disaster. Dogs and cats aren’t the only
animals affected. Horses, cows, pigs, chickens and other animals that people
depend on to make a living are in need of rescue and help. Animals in zoos
and aquariums could also be in danger.
Both organizations are asking for emergency donations.
