Help The Victims

Bayou Foods is a Louisiana based business.

On Monday August 29, 2005, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and parts of Florida were struck head-on by one of the worst storms to roll out of the Gulf of Mexico in the past 36 years. Hurricane Katrina ranked as one of the top five hurricanes in recorded history.

As our nation witnesses the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, many are asking how they can help.

Here are the primary first response agencies accepting donations to assist the displaced American from the storm affected region:

The American Red Cross is asking for cash donations to help the tens of thousands of victims at http://www.redcross.org/donate/donate.html or call 1-800-HELP-NOW.

The Salvation Army is providing services for victims and first responders. Donate via the web at http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/USNSAHome.htm or call 1-800-SAL-ARMY. You can also make donations in person at your local Wal-Mart or Sam's Club.

Following is a list of other Web sites offering disaster relief information:
