| How
you can help in a disaster |
 |
| When
a disaster strikes, people want to help. |
| But
the wrong kind of help can be as bad as the disaster. Donated
items that are not requested can take up space needed for
emergency supplies, money collected by well meaning folks may
not make it to the intended victims. |
| How
to Help:
Raise Money for Established Relief Agencies |
Give
generously to those agencies providing assistance to the
disaster
victims. Money helps by allowing the agencies to provide the
needed
assistance without the difficulties in shipping donated goods.
By following
the guidelines for donations and volunteering, you can make a
difference. |

to Help:
