Some Katrina Survivors in DC Finding Refuge in Area Homes

This article in today's Washington Post (free registration required) details how some of the Katrina folks in DC are connecting with area families.

DC has set up an email address for hurricane inquiries: katrinavolunteers@dc.gov

We have also seen on TV broadcasts that the DC Armory is getting flooded with donations and that some locations are beginning to turn them away.

We'll probably be calling later today to get some more information about 1) volunteering and 2) how to get listed to shelter survivors in our homes, but if you wish to get more information by phone on volunteering at the Armory, you can call the Mayor's Call Center at 202-727-1000.
