Emily everything I have heard or read through the last few big disasters ( the tsumani, Katrina et) says to give money as the cost of shipping things, plus the issue of getting the RIGHT things, is really an issue. I see you've got a list but care to clarify on this? I have read so many horror stories of well intentioned items that were not able to be used for any number of reasons.

I am certainly not going to send cases of food from Washington state as it's just not cost effective.
