Donation, funding and assistance issues, as well as many policy decisions are handled at the local level, and questions relating to these issues are best addressed to local United Ways.
Wal-Mart
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is accepting donations at its 3,800 stores and Web site, www.walmart.com.
Charity Navigator offers these suggestions ensure your donations get to those who need it:
Give To An Established Charity: Don't let an unscrupulous charity take advantage of your goodwill. Find a charity with a proven track record of success with dealing with this region and this type of disaster. Avoid fly-by-night charities created specifically to deal with Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. Even well-meaning new organizations will not have the infrastructure and knowledge of the region to efficiently maximize your gift. If you do feel compelled to give to a new charity, be sure to get proof that the group is in fact a registered public charity with 501 (c) (3) status.
Designate Your Gift: Worried that your donation will go towards the charity's general operating fund or saved for an upcoming crisis? This is a very understandable concern. Many charities do encourage donors not to designate their gifts so that the charity can decide how best to utilize the money, but depending on your confidence in the charity's ability to make that determination, you may want to tell the charity exactly how to use your gift. By designating your gift specifically for Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, you'll ensure that your donation will be used for the victims of this particular disaster.
Avoid Telemarketers: Be wary of fundraisers who pressure you to make a contribution over the phone. Never divulge your credit card information to someone soliciting you via the phone. Instead, ask the fundraiser to send you written information about the charity they represent and do some research on your own. Once you feel comfortable with the charity, send the organization a check directly in the mail, or give through their website, thus ensuring 100% of your gift goes to the charity and not the for-profit fundraiser.
Research And Follow Up: As always, take the time to find a charity you can trust. Charity Navigator offers this list of highly-rated charities working in the wake of Hurricane Katrina to help you in your efforts. Use our free financial evaluations to search for other well-run charities worthy of your support. And be sure to follow up with the charity in a few months to find out (a) how your donation was put to use and (b) if they need additional support to complete the recovery effort.

I was just going to let you know I found this great place to make holiday cards. They are usually $20 but free on this link. You can design your own and pass them out to those who might not have much for the holidays and put a smile on just one face this christmas.

Katrina inspired me to help the world the best I can VIA current internet media technologies with future crisises:
I have made a customized search engine that links only to crisis situation type websites (like relief aide, evacuation planning, crisis management, and others relating to emergency situations caused by terrorism, natural disasters and man-made war), see http://www.CrisisSearch.com ... This niche portal was made after the Katrina devastation and hopefully it will assist humans in/during the next disaster...

i think that someone, perhapse the american red cross, should come out with a support bracelet. like the armstrong one that says "be strong". all of the money could go to the hurricane katrina victims. i'm only 14 but i know that all of the teenagers are wearing some kind of support bands from support our troops to brest cancer awareness. i would buy it.

Lonewacko,
According to The Day, thesoutheastern Connecticut chapter of the American Red Cross is seeking volunteers.
This Friday and Saturday, the offices will host two all-day training sessions to “fast track” new volunteers to help with disaster relief in the regions affected by Hurricane Katrina, Bolen said. Nationally, the Red Cross is looking for 9,000 volunteers to respond to the scene.
“If there's somebody who can make a three-week commitment, they can really make a difference,” she said. “It will be a hardship disaster assignment. The volunteers may have to sleep in tents or in community shelters, and there may be no electricity or air conditioning.”
Friday's session will teach new volunteers the ins and outs of disaster relief, while Saturday's session will focus on CPR and first-aid training. The Red Cross will conduct interviews and complete approval processes for new volunteers on an expedited schedule to enable those who qualify to leave for the hurricane zones by Monday or Tuesday, Bolen said.
Volunteers must be at least 18 years old and healthy. Transportation will be provided by the Red Cross.
