I have many people willing to donate items, clothing, shoes, bedding, repellant, etc....but where do they send them? Is there a central place to send
via mail, we are all on the East coast - for people to pick up who are driving down?
Also, where is a reputible site to send money for the relief cause?
Best,

The only legal entity I'm aware of set to do this is:
Sharksbaja (user here), the Baja Bush Pilots, Cruz Roja Mexicana, Rotary of Santa Rosalia, and Rotary of Mulege are all involved with relief
efforts/funds/etc as well.
The ICF may be working indirectly with Rotary, but I'm not certain.
Tommy & Lori of Cabo Magic took significant early action for relief, but are now not accepting further donations per her postings of the last 48
hours (or so).

the fire Dept. says they Have more clothing than they know what to do with.
they need bedding, plastic tarps, disposable plats, cups and spoons. , tents and things to set up temp housing Propane stoves and camping type gear.
also it would be a good time to get rid of those old propane tanks that don't work in the US anymore.joycepigg - 9-11-2006 at 10:43 AM
