Floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes continue to rock our country and the world. Many people, especially those in flood areas, are uninsured or under-insured. We would like to send aid and get them back on their feet. You can help! Please help us and donate what you can. If you want to donate online, please make a donation using PayPal.

Spring, 2009 Donor Acknowledgements
Spring season and, we have a few more friends to thank. Katrina's Angels appreciates everyone who has lent a helping hand during our Underwear and Sox Drive, especially the Graduate Student Association of North Carolina Central University, Durham, NC. Led by Chief Executive Counselor Kenya Reed, those wonderful students held their own sock drive when they heard of our cause. Several boxes of donated socks were sent to Galveseton, TX on Tuesday April 21, 2009.
Katrina's Angels would also like to thank the Colgate-Palmolive Company which donated fifty dental care kits, containing toothpaste and toothbrushes for children. In addition to dental supplies, the children’s kits included a short story for the children to read explaining the importance of good dental hygiene.

Actor Vincent D'Onofrio Donates $1,000 to Katrina's Angels! Tuesday, September 30, 2008 We are pleased to announce that as part of the fundraising campaign currently being led by Advisory Board member Kija Brooks, actor Vincent D'Onofrio of Law & Order: Criminal Intent has just donated $1,000 to Katrina's Angels! D'Onofrio's donation is the largest we have ever received from an individual donor, I beleive. Kija is
working very hard trying to get donations to help us with supplies and a warehouse for disaster victims. So far, the donations total about $1,160 with more pledges to come. Katrina's Angels gratefully acknowledges the support we are receiving from Kija and her fellow workers on the set of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. With their help and the help of any one else who would like to donate, our dreams are a step closer to reality.
--Thank You! Karen Iwicki
Katrina's Angels is very grateful for our new-found alliance with Jaeckle Wholesale Distributors of Madison, WI. In the interest of going green and keeping new, usable, but discontinued lots of building supplies like tile and flooring from filling up landfills, this wonderful company has so far donated four truckloads of building supplies to clients of Katrina's Angels so they may rebuild their homes. Those include: H.O.P.E Missions in Angie, LA; Lakeshore Rebuilds of Lakeshore Baptist Church in Lakeshore, MS; The Green Project, New Orleans; and Operation Nehemiah, New Orleans. These supplies are being used to rebuild homes in those respective towns, and for that we are grateful. Katrina's Angels hopes that our alliance with Jaeckle Wholesale Distributors continues in the future and that news of their generosity will spark more donors like them to come forward.
