Just came back from Walmart and the Salvation Army were manning a box outside and a truck for large items to take collections and distribute in the relief area. Noticed a lot of people were buying baby stuff inside and dropping off with them on the way out. I bought some new towels and gave to them. Perhaps sending stuff to a local Salvation Army and ear marking for hurricane victims would be a good idea. Although the idea's of bringing things to the nationals is great, that is still over a month away and a lot of people need things like yesterday.
