Like all of you, our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the horrible impact of Hurricane Katrina. As we develop UNC-TV’s response to these tragic events, I wanted to make you aware of some of the resources we already have available to assist you in the days ahead. From talking with your kids and grandkids about the tragedy, to finding out how you can help, to monitoring the latest developments and learning more about hurricanes and disaster relief in general, check out the following links:
All American Red Cross disaster assistance is free, made possible by voluntary donations of time and money from the American people. You can help the victims of this disaster by making a financial gift to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, which enables the Red Cross to provide shelter, food, counseling and other assistance to those in need. Call 1-800-HELP NOW or 1-800-257-7575 (Spanish). Contributions to the Disaster Relief Fund may also be sent to your local American Red Cross chapter or to the American Red Cross, P. O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013.
