Tsunami Relief options

Hat tip to Dean Esmay for this link: bq. Free Shipping From Fed Ex To Help Tsunami Stricken Areas! Our friend Marc has some thoughts on principled charity vs. simply giving money. Conservatives will especially appreciate his message. bq. Speaking of which, have I mentioned that a really great way to give disaster relief is not to send money, but to take advantage of Federal Express' free shipping to tsunami-ravaged Asia? So that instead of just sending cash you can send new (please, only new) bottles of unopened water, food, clothing, medical supplies, and so on to areas hard-hit by the Tsunami? bq. Because I'm not sure you were paying attention last time I mentioned it. bq. More details right here. bq. What are you waiting for? Indeed -- Jen and I sent in a donation to a Seattle group that does excellent work and has very low administrative overhead. Posted by DaveH at January 6, 2005 5:46 PM
