Hugh Hewitt, Instapundit and the blogosphere as a whole is organizing a Blog-O-Thon for relief in order to help people find ways that they can donate money to help the people impacted by Hurricane Katrina.

I don't have to go in to the details of how serious a disaster this is, the media has full coverage of the magnitude of the damage, and the many tens or hundreds of thousands made homeless overnight.

Hugh Hewitt has a list of organizations that you can contribute to, as does Instapundent.

Also, the United Way has made it possible to contribute to Hurricane Katrina relief through its E-Way online donation system.

Lutheran Church Missouri Synod is running a campaign for Hurricane Katrina Relief.

Lest we forget, many service members serving in Iraq and Afghanistan have families in the region devestated by Hurricane Katrina. Soldiers Angels. contributions can be sent to:

Soldier's Angels Foundation Operation Katrina Relief 1792 East Washington Blvd. Pasadena, California 91104

Or made online at Soldiers Angels.

Americans pulled together to generate millions of dollars for Tsunami Relief earlier this year. I hope that we can do the same, or better, for Hurricane Katrina Relief which has hit our own backyard.
