Addresses for donations to help Katrina victims

[Michelle]

There are 45,000 New Orleans refugees staying at the River
Center. The PR
person I spoke with said they would be there 2-3 months.

They are asking for direct donations. She said there are many
many babies
and children. She said they need EVERYTHING! She specifically
mentioned:

Clothes
Blankets
Formula
Water
Diapers
Non-perishable food
Sheets
Pillows
Sleeping Bags

ANYTHING. She sounded desperate.

If you are feeling benevolent, please ship a package to:

The Baton Rouge River Center
275 South River Road
Baton Rouge, LA, 70802
Phone- 225-389-3030
