I suggested to Xia that she should get Legal's to help out in the aftermath of Katrina. A month after 9/11 we in Paramus donated all our tips for a night shift to the 9/11 fund. We promoted the event locally for about a week. Many people came out to have a nice dinner, and drop a big tip to be donated. No wait/bar staff members were obligated to work that night, but more than enough volunteered to meet staffing needs. Here at VMS I'm going to suggest to my boss that we do something. I've posted a few links to organizations that donations can be made through.
From their website:
"Network For Good is the Internet's leading charitable resource an e-philanthropy site where individuals can donate, volunteer and get involved with the issues they care about. The organization's goal is to connect people to charities via the Internet using the virtual world to deliver real resources to nonprofits and communities."
Basically they can hook you up with various charitable foundations via the internet. They include American Red Cross, Convoy of Hope, Charity Hospital in New Orleans & Heart of Florida United Way among many others.
Here are some direct links charities:
American Red Cross
Salvation Army
Feed The Children
