PROGRAM:

Salv.Army has fed 500,000 meals so far in Louisiana. Mainly through Emergency Repsonse Vehicles pre-positioned through out the country – they have kitchens, etc.

The evacuess – NEED MONEY, NO STUFF. “you don’t need sheets= if you don’t have a bed”. Money will buy missing dentures, glasses, medicine, wheel chairs, etc.

Locally, the Salv. Army and Corinne are helping seven families with money, moral support, aid, counseling, supplies, etc. The Cit= y of Redondo Beach “adopted” one family directly.

Estimates are that there are 2500 evacuees in LA Cou= nty – most want to go home.
