Back to Journal  « Respecting Katrina | Sending Life | Looking Glass Falls, NC (Photography) » Sending Life September 1, 2005 Just a reminder that there's a blood shortage most summers, and with Hurricane Katrina's devastation, you can be sure your blood is needed. So even if you're strapped for cash, you can still send something tangible and life-saving to our friends in the Gulf. Visit http://www.givelife.org/ or call 1-800-GIVELIFE to find a donation center or blood drive near you. There's also specific blood drive searches for different regions, which might have more specific offerings: www.redcrossblood.org/bloodsrch.htm is for North Carolina (Chapel Hill/Carrboro is served out of Durham). And for those who do have a few bucks to give, screenwriter John Rogers is matching donations to the Red Cross. If you've disliked anything he's written, you can bankrupt the bastard* and double the effectiveness of your contribution at the same time: http://kfmonkey.blogspot.com/2005/08/red-cross.html *Not that anyone cares, but I happen to like the guy and his work -Backpedalling Alex.

Comments: Discuss this entry at LiveJournalFor the locals, from Ethan Kaye on the DSI boards: "Mapleview Ice Cream stores will be open on Labor Day and all the proceeds (rather than the profits) on all the products will be going to disaster relief. They're only advertising through word of mouth.." Posted by: alex at September 1, 2005 11:20 AM
