Please pass this information on to other lists as you can.


Washington, D.C. September 11, 2001 -- The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) is urging those interested in helping
victims of the apparent terrorist events to give blood or
cash donations. Those interested in giving blood
should call the American Red Cross blood donation
hotline, at 1-800-448-3543. The American Red Cross can
accept cash donations through 1-800-HELP NOW, and the
Salvation Army can accept financial contributions through 1-800-SAL
ARMY. Medical personnel who wish to donate their services
should contact their local American Red Cross office.
