Donating online is probably still the easiest way to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, but if you live in the Philadelphia area you also have another option.

NBC10 and Wawa are sponsoring a program where you can print out a ccoupon that you can have the cashier at Wawa scan and the donation will be charged to your purchase.

Unless you’ve spent the past few days in a cave, you know that the City of New Orleans has basically been wiped out by the flooding that has followed Hurricane Katrina. I just added a llink to the American Red Cross to the homepage. Please use it to donate to the massive relief effort in New Orleans and the surrounding areas, including Mississippi and Alabama.
