Regarding Hurricane Katrina Efforts:

CWS is helping to support immediate needs and preparing for
continuing assistance, working within affected communities to meet the long-term recovery and reconstruction needs of the most vulnerable. Shoulder to shoulder with the interfaith community in the affected areas, as well as federal emergency officials, CWS will be providing vital assistance as families and communities work to put their lives back together again.

Convoy of Hope were in the South before Katrina made landfall.  http://www.convoyofhope.org

I'm encouraging all American visitors to my site to donate used clothing, especially children's clothing to the Salvation Army. School supplies are needed as well if that can be spared.

Volunteers are needed at all the local Red Cross outlets to help. There's a search engine where you can find your local Red Cross headquarter. If nothing else you can contact them to get Natural Disaster trailing, CPR training, First Aid training.
