LDS Church Sends Aid
News of the Church/September: "As 14 other trucks from the large central warehouse in Salt Lake have arrived or are near arrival among Hurricane Katrina evacuees, food, hygiene kits, and other emergency supplies preceded the latest shipment. Central bishops' storehouses in Texas, Louisiana, Florida, and Georgia are sending vehicles and supplies to the hurricane victims. Brother Nield said some trucking companies are teaming up with the Church to help the regional storehouses to haul goods; some even contribute to the supply of aid. "It could be a bishops' storehouse in Slidell, Louisiana or it could be a chapel in Biloxi, Mississippi," Brother Nield said. "It depends where the need is and the kind of requests that come forward." He said the most urgent need is in the areas the media indicate: New Orleans, Louisiana, and Biloxi, Mississippi. "
