Sept 11 Charity Info

[EXCESS]

I was asked about some of the charities that I posted links for, so here's a little bio on some legit charities:

A non-profit organization that assists the families of fallen New York City firefighters and police officers. The Fund provides funds to families at the time of a death to assist with immediate expenses. In addition, the benefit fund distributes an annual check to each of the surviving families

The American Red Cross is providing lifesaving assistance in the form of immediate disaster mass care and blood to victims and emergency workers in New York, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania following the incomprehensible attacks of September 11. The Red Cross will stay with these people as this tragedy unfolds. The Red Cross has been on the scene from the beginning providing disaster support in the form of food, shelter and mental health counseling to all individuals affected.

The September 11th Fund was established by United Way and The New York Community Trust to mobilize financial resources to respond to the immediate and longer-term needs of the victims, their families and communities affected by the events of September 11, 2001.

At this time, monetary donations are needed to help pay for the 100,000 meals The Salvation Army is serving emergency personnel each day of this massive rescue and recovery effort. Volunteers and supplies may again be needed in the days and weeks that follow.

These are just a few that I support. For a detailed list of legitimate charities visit www.libertyunites.org/donate.adp
