Co-worker and fellow Bay Area blogger, Catherine @ Poverty Barn, has organized a relief drive for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area, please give if you are able. Now, with the help of the ever useful cut and paste tools, I will let Catherine herself give you the details - from Poverty Barn:

Thanks, Richard! BTW, thanks for your donation as well.
Thanks for letting me know!
From so far away, it is very kind of you to help. My own area was hit a year ago tomorrow by Hurricane Ivan and we were left in shock. We were subsequently hit by Cindy and Dennis and Katrina.
Katrina only backhanded us (Pensacola Beach), and now we are hosting many refugees/evacuees from Mississippi and Louisiana. What better place for them to escape than here where we understand their pain.
Thank you for your help.
