This is likely not practical but....\n\nIf you can locate a church in the NOLA area, many are providing relief direct to the victims instead of going through an organization with too darn many administrators.\n\nExample - A member of our church was an insurance adjuster who went down on a catastrophe team.  But while there, she noted a church supplying materials (primarily roofing) and food directly to victims.  We simply gave the money to that church - and it was not even our own denomination - knowing that this money was going to help a whole lot more than the many organizations who have staffs to support and expenses to take off the top.\n\nNot sure how you can locate a church doing that kind of work at this late date but if you can, that's the way to make your donation go the farthest...

Take it up as an issue with your church's organisation, instead of bleating about it on Yahoo! Answers. It is unreasonable of you to expect Yahoo! users to help you, because you haven't even bothered to indicate the denomination of your church.

Dear Priest,\nI am writing on behalf of the youth. We are requesting that you release the funds necessary for us to purchase musical instruments. It says we are to praise him on the instruments, so please help us to do so.\n\nDear people,\nThis is to inform you that we wish to have you join us in being Patrons and Metrons for our youth. Please help us, thank you.

Send them a videotape of your church and it's members, voicing your support for them in both finances and prayer. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a million.\n\nYou could also send them some Christian books or CDs that have recently come out since they may have no/limited access to those kinds of things. Devotional books or Bible studies and things like that could help too.

Look in the Yellow Pages under Churches and call them all.  They have the money set aside for such emergencies.  You don't have to be a member - just in need of services.....)(

Christian Childern's Fund is legit. I get handwritten letters and photos from the family. I also have verification from them that their monetary gifts for like Christmas and birthdays and things get through to them in full without being skimmed. The monthly donation goes to the local program the kid is in to fund their daily meals, education etc., not directly into the kids hands. It is worth it. The website is www.christianchildrensfund.org

Almost Every new poster  starts out asking that, and the answers are quite mean usually. I'm poor too and know it's hard. Churches have helped me best when I was desperate. Good Luck. I'll pray for you okay buddy?

I don't understand why you are so down on others??? I can give you a long list of people and organizations that do great things for people in need. I know of many churches that are great about reaching out to those in need. And just think about it for a while, where can you find more generous and giving people? The church is is the most caring place on earth. The most generous people I know are Christians!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nSo stop complaining and start bragging about all the wonderful acts of kindness that are in this world we live in.\n\nAnd don't judge me, you have no idea what I do to help those in need. Likewise, you have no idea what others are doing behind the seens to give a hand up to those in need.

Hi; I do appreciation baskets quite often.  I start with a pretty basket I find at Michaels/Hobby Lobby/or any Craft store; know your budget.  Fill with lotion, candles, gift certificate to dinner or movie, nice card telling how much that person means to you.  Add anything special that they collect ... I know our pastor's wife loves pretty journals and pens; anything personal that shows you "thought" about them -- that's the trick.  I recently did this and included the other ladies by having them "donate" to her -- like a money tree -- we gave her the money and it really blessed her.  Also, I had the ladies write down a blessing or special note of appreciation to her and included that in a beautiful china cup for her to read later.  I didn't just use one poem, I used a bunch of blessings -- a basket full of blessings.  Have fun!  She will be blessed just because you thought of her!

Pray for the church first of all. Get involved. I don't know if you are or not, but if not, there is not a whole lot you can do.

how about a local church??? most churches will take clothing donations too  and they do not re-sell the clothing to people, they give poor people clothing for free...they may also have many connections to oversea organizations  and can get you in touch with them or send them for you... best wishes!
