    Thanks for this info William. I would much rather give to a church group’s relief fund then the big boy “charities” who take too much of the money for “administration” purposes. I remember seeing the PBS report on Katrina rebuilding. The church groups were the first to respond and really do something to help the people who’s homes were destroyed. One group from Tennessee brought truckloads of lumber down and started rebuilding with true Christian charity. A Mennonite group did the same thing and I would love to give my money to the people that are actually out there doing the rebuilding and repairs.
