Supporting hurricane relief efforts

2 Sep 2005

This morning as I was reading more news about Hurricane Katrina, I kept feeling like I was on the verge of breaking down or something. I can’t even imagine. I’m still a little speechless about it.

The least I can do right now is make a donation to the relief efforts. Network for Good is one of many websites out there with lists of aid organizations accepting donations. Please give what you can, and as a follow-up action, check with your employer about matching programs. (The company I work for is matching its employees’ donations to hurricane relief, beyond its normal annual matching limits, and I hear our donation drive is going well.)

Isn’t it awesome to work for a company that wants to do good? My company is also matching its employees donations. I think I’m still in shock over this whole mess, too.

I’m so glad you posted this! I don’t know if enough people know about these matching programs, but it’s great that they double the good that one can do.
