A coworker of mine plans to spend the weekend collecting clothes, toiletries, every day items, etc. to take to the Fairmont Hotel in downtown Dallas which is helping to house victims of Katrina. She told me that they have set up one of their meeting rooms with donated clothes. They are sorting them and hanging them up. If there's one thing I have to give, it's extra clothes. I came home for lunch and spent about 15 minutes bagging clothes to give.
My mom who lives in the Houston area went grocery shopping and found out that you can buy groceries and designate them to be given to help the victims. She didn't have to deliver them herself either. The store takes care of it.
Just a couple of small, practical ways to help...
About Me
- bebeMe
- Dallas, TX
- I am a copywriter and I live in Dallas, TX. I'm optimistic, girly and an avid reader of teen fiction. I find unspeakable joy in old school Britney, big plastic rhinestones, the theme music for "The Office," making fun of elitist classical musicians (but I can do that because I used to be one of them), and the fact that I was born in the same year as 2 of my favorite companies: bebe Stores and Apple Inc. I worry a lot, am a little vain and selfish, and I refuse to eat chocolate that's not really, really dark. My fake blonde fake-tanned appearance belies a heart full of genuine intentions. Because I only talk shit about people if they are friends or family and are currently standing right in front of me.
