Me and mine are safe, thanks for asking. I pray that every SPIFer can say
the same for themselves and their loved ones.
FWIW, Catholic Charities of the Twin Cities just sent out an email
suggesting that people contact the Red Cross with donations. Lutheran
Social Services, I believe, is funneling support to the Red Cross, as well.
The Red Cross is well set up to deliver first-response care, and would
surely appreciate the support. They have set up www.safeandwell.org so
folks can search for friends and family with whom they have not yet
connected. They're also on site, delivering food and snacks to emergency
responders, and have set up a family response center at the Metrodome
Holiday Inn that's catering to the needs of those who are dealing with
losses.
Their phone system is a little wonky right now, but their web site donation
page is running. Visit http://www.redcrosstc.org/donate.cfm for more
information.
If anyone else has any other suggestions as to how people can help, I'd
appreciate hearing them. One of the amazing things about this sad situation
is how many regular folks rushed out to help.
Peace,
Atom Robinson
