I will echo Dick's recommendation of the Red Cross. You can donate online and get the resources in the hands of those who need help quickly. http://www.redcross.org/

Here is a link to the eBay page that has info about selling things or buying things to help a charity. There is also a link there to make a Paypal donation to the Katrina relief effort: http://givingworks.ebay.com/

A friend of Oldgas.com, Byron Benford, lives in Gulf Shores, Alabama. That is on the eastern edge of the affected area. He had some damage to his house, but not bad. Lost power for two days but back on now. Gasoline is in short supply there.
