They are expecting up to 6000 refugees here in Albuquerque in the next few days. They are accepting donations at the downtown convention center; they need clothes, towels, sheets, blankets, children's toys. They also need places for these people to stay for the longer haul, and the city info line is telling people to register on katrinahousing.org if they have space in their homes or rental property.
I was just down there and they just let me drop off stuff on the west side of the convention center, the doors facing the plaza on 4th. Everyone, go clean out your linnen closet and clothes closets, and take your stuff down there.
