As an experiment I offered to do a donation pickup with my truck, for the Katrina Relocation Project. It sounds like they have a warehouse in Mountainview. I'm really curious to see what they're doing and how many people they're supporting - how they're doing it - if they have a warehouse full of stuff, do they dole it out or what? Is the stuff going to people who are here now? Or getting sent to some Red Cross warehouse that is locked and guarded? I want to know... all these well meaning donations... most of them not getting anywhere very fast.
Also, this morning I have a bunch of toys and crayons and hair ties and small practical things, new packages of underwear, that Tomas's mom brought in a suitcase and that I DIDN'T bring to the Astrodome. It was way too heavy. So I'm just going to bring it to the local family shelter where it will find good use.
