In the letter, they write, "like you, we have also watched with sadness and concern the devastation that has resulted from Hurricane Katrina hitting the Gulf Coast. The level of destruction and, worse, the sense of how huge the recovery efforts will need to be, has once again moved BC/EFA to act. "

A check was sent to the Washington DC office of the Red Cross "expressly for emergency efforts and on-going relief aid being provided to the citizens of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. "

Those who would like to make a contribution on their own may do so by sending a check to:
