Also, just want to add our little piece if you all don't mind:


"You can help those affected by this crisis and countless others around the world each year by making a financial gift to the American Red Cross International Response Fund, which will provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance, and other support to those in need. Call 1-800-HELP NOW or 1-800-257-7575 (Spanish). Contributions to the International Response Fund may be sent to your local American Red Cross chapter or to the American Red Cross International Response Fund, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013. Internet users can make a secure online contribution by visiting www.redcross.org."

Just to be sure, I have been asking around and reading if its okay to send these donations. Alot of organizations have been saying its best to send monetary donations instead, since its so hard to send these items to the affected area. I just want to be certain that they will receive these items. I want to do everything in my part as well as everybody else to help. For me it would be a lot easier to collect these items.

I got this information from NBC 4 in NYC.  They are accepting clothing, dry food, money and everything else I listed.
