Title: Samoan Tsumani Food and Clothing Drive!
Post by: GoGoKokiGo on October 01, 2009, 01:29:09 am

I'm pretty sure some of you have heard about the tsunami/earthquake in Samoa. I'm part Samoan so this really struck home for me. I saw on the news that there is a church that is in Carson, Ca (hopefully some of you are close by and willing) that is having a food and clothing drive. I found this out late tonight, so I'm thinking about taking some stuff down there tomorrow. I'm not sure if it's still ongoing. It says on the 29th but then it also says for the entire month of October. I believe you can also send money there is a routing and account number as well. I provided a link to the church's website.

There was also an earthquake in Indonesia, I'll look into see if there are any donation centers around me that I can donate to.

Give some love and support!   :angel11:

The only bad part about sending donations to those places is that it never seems to get to the needed people because of RED TAPE with the Governments.  But, I will look into it and donate a few bucks.
