The Grass Valley, CA Elks are spearheading a drive for cards/letters of encouragement for hurricane refugees who are being sheltered in their Louisiana affiliates' programs.
I just spoke with a woman today and she assured me that they would give out every single card or letter to the evacuees, and that the people were truly appreciating them.
Here's their website:

Send them to:

You can get creative if you want - I know one family that's sending some paper dolls their six year old daughter made to kids in the shelters.
Please also let me know if there are other places I should post this.
