Re: OT-Red Cross Relief

September 22, 2001

The Red Cross is no longer accepting any " in-kind " (that means stuff)

donations. All they need right now is $$$ donations.

However your local homeless shelter, or women's shelter is always looking

for small size toiletries.

OT-Red Cross Relief

> Does anyone know if they (RC) is going to be willing to take toiletry

items, either handmade or store purchased, to help with relief efforts? I

guess i could call, i just need to find that info that was posted.

> I figured i would go through my baskets full of soaps etc and put them

aside (since they are just sitting here) and perhaps toss in a majority of

the goodies i got in swaps as they are one: taking up two drawers in my

bathroom so i won't be able to use them all; i hope someone else can use the

stuff while they are unable to get back to their homes etc...would that be

atacky at all? sending homemade toiletry items? I just don't know how else

to help when money is tight over here too...

they have 200 million just the RED CROSS alone and 150 million at last count

from that telethon(united way) and our goverenment paid 15 billion i heard

today to the airlines for victims etc. my goodness how much is enough? i am

not trying to be mean i think this is alot of money and i pray God Blesses

the intentions of all who have given in prayer , blood ,time ,and money. a

man i know gathered people to send blood at a local free clinic they got 90

units and for the redcross to ship it since the Red Cross did not do the

collecting wanted to charge the clinic 60$ a unit. just makes me sad i would

think we send in money for these things. praying for a better day for our

children-tamika
