Adopt-A-Family....*UPDATED 2007* |
Lead | |
|
We have an Adopt-A-Family board <a href="http://p069.ezboard.com/fthefrugalshopperfrm109" target="_new">here</a>. I don't personally know of any families that need help, but maybe some will post on our board and we can help them. I am in the process of finding out how we might help people who need us.

Crawford Cares is a coordinated effort by small-businesses designed to provide a helping hand to the families impacted by the devastating trauma of Hurricane Katrina.
Through the web site, www.crawfordcares.com, families that are interested in sponsorship can register, and then be matched with a small business that is interested in meeting those needs through adoption. www.crawfordcares.com |

Another way to donate goods:
We will be collecting & delivering items for several months, please keep sending comfort goods! URGENT: We have learned that there is a great need for wrist watches, battery powered clocks, ethnic hair care products, school supplies, backpacks and other luggage. If you can, please send these items first. http://www.coffeecup.com/hurricane |
