Katrina’s Angels and our partner, Neighbors Across the Land Disaster Relief and Recovery, will be working together on flood relief in the Atlanta, GA area. You can follow us here or on twitter or facebook as we work together to clear debris from houses and deliver supplies to flood victims.

Greg Conklin has been diligently working to help clean up houses and deliver supplies and food to the flood victims of Austell, GA. Katrina's Angels has helped with fuel, some personal hygiene supplies, school supplies, and other items. In addition, some great Community Angels have helped, including Doris Mcquiller and Karen Ellington, who have spent time at the warehouse sorting clothes and other supplies and preparing food baskets for distribution to the flood victims.

I, myself, have packed supplies into a dozen or so reusable tote bags today, and they are on their way to Austell to be distributed this weekend.

Katrina's Angels and NATL need your help with the flood victims in Austell, GA. We need funds to continue to provide help in the area.

You can also check out photos of the flood area here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=113701&id=141601072759&l=6f7511400f

Thank you so much for helping!

Gowanda, NY Needs Our Help for Flood Relief

During the August rains, the town of Gowanda, NY was severely hit by flooding. Now that the Red Cross and other first responders have completed their part, Katrina’s Angels (KA), generally second responders, is stepping up to the plate. Partnering once again with Greg Conklin and Neighbors Across the Land disaster relief and recovery, (http://www.natldrr.org/deploycurrent.html ), KA is stepping up its relief efforts.

Update 10/3/09 Greg said that "although there have been major strides in the area relief
effort, getting back to normal is not here yet. Most houses are ready for
recovery...if you would like to come help rebuild a house, let us know!"
