They need blankets

Two in one day.

If you want to make a difference this Thanksgiving, please donate blankets or money for blankets to Camp Hope (sorry no PayPal link, but instructions are provided at the link). The volunteers (up to 300/week) are staying in a school that was flooded by hurricane Katrina and currently does not have heat. Camp Hope is supported by the New Orleans Habitat for Humanity affiliate and has worked to gut over 1,800 homes in St. Bernard Parish and is now involved in reconstruction. Read a recent volunteer's experience here.

While I don't have the strongest blog following, due in part to my recently infrequent updates, please feel free to pass along this request to those you think may support them. We're reaching out in Baton Rouge to those who can donate blankets, but now every little bit counts.

Thank you.
