Subject: Unity Church of Dallas Supports the Hurricane Relief Effort
HURRICANE RELIEF
Updated 9-1-05
Everyone is eager to help the refugee families brought to Dallas
after Hurricane Katrina, but this is going to be a long process.
Unity Church of Dallas is checking carefully to find out what will
really help and when. Here is what we know so far:
Do not go to Reunion Arena yet. There will be plenty of time for
visiting and praying with people later.
We do not yet have details on how to adopt a family, but stay tuned.
FOR NOW:
Bring the following items to UCD Sunday, Sept. 4 or later. (Note: The
church will be closed on Labor Day.)
Clothes – Adult and children's sizes, especially T-shirts, sweat
pants and shoes.
Toiletries – soap, shampoo, toothbrushes/paste, hairbrushes/combs,
deodorant, tampons/napkins, anti-bacterial hand wipes, face-cleaning
towelettes, disposable razors/shaving cream
Food – Bottled water and non-perishable items that can be eaten on
the spot. Crackers, raisins, chips, small boxes of cereal. NO CANS
and nothing that has to be cooked.
Other – Diapers, towels, blankets
QUESTIONS:
For more information on relief efforts throughout the Metroplex,
www.dallasnews.com has an extensive list of opportunities to help.

Please note that it is a zoo. Most donations were turned away at the
Residence Inn. Just tell they that these are specifically requested items.
Another thing that would really help would be to create a handout that
would list numbers for various agencies, shelters, job sources.
THANKS
