Default Re: Do you think it's better to donate money ot time?

Time. Let me tell you what is happening in my county right now. After Katrina hit, people sent money like crazy. It all went to the National Fund for the Red Cross and other organizations. Now, we have 40+ families from Katrina that have relocated here in my county. Our local food pantry, red cross and clothes closet cant help them because everything has been sent south. 40 families, and the food pantry only had 1 bottle of shampoo in the hair care area. When we asked for more help, and people to help distrubite items (which we no longer have) everyone replied, they already gave....some welcome we are giving these people...
