It's not me, we are just kicking in. We helped with Katrina .. just like a lot of others did here in Houston. We worked at George Brown center. I know BigTex pitched in also and I'm sure many others on this board helped out. If not, shame on them.
It's what "Mac" (Gallery Furniture in Houston) does all the time ... uses his facilities and trucks to collect and disburse assistance. If it weren't for folks like Mac we wouldn't know where to take or send the stuff so that those who really need it would get it.
I posted this thread so folks in the Houston area would know specifically and folks around the country (or Texas) might think of working a collection center and transportation in their communities. Even if for the next time.
BTW: Talking about helping. There are a lot of women/children shelters that take clothes and household items to help displaced families get started again and get independent. Some of them leave violent homes with only their clothes on their backs. So we don't have to wait for a catastrophe ... or large, publicized "tragedy"!
