I want to volunteer to go to the Gulf Coast area and help in the cleanup. Do any of you have contacts or know of any organizations you would recommend me contact?

I can pay my way and I have 1 to 2 weeks of vacation time to donate.

Thank you ibdave...

I was going to come here and post a link the BWB and you beat me to it. flatlander, if you have any trouble getting hold of someone via the links, PM me and I'll find a way to get you in touch with someone who can tell you how you can help. But remember, these things are all primarily volunteer run, so be forgiving if you don't get an immediate response.

there is a link to volunteer in many locations in many capacities on the right side of this page...

If you volunteer in the Grand Isle district you can stay with me a while.

Pm for details.

Guysâ€¦â€¦â€¦thanks for the info. From the BWB site I signed up volunteer in Louisiana. I guess all that Emergency Response Team/Hazmat training I have had over the last 18 year might be good for something after all.

If you have any more connections or suggestions; please keep them coming.
