 Hey, man. What's up with all the bags? Oh, nothing. Just picked up a bunch of clothes and food to send to the relief effort overseas. You know all that stuff is going to cost more to ship, and if it gets there, it probably won't even be used. At least I'm trying to do something. It's good that you want to help, but there's an easier way. If you donate cash, the professionals will be able to purchase exactly what they need. You know, I never looked at it that way. It's plain and simple. Cash is the most efficient way to help disaster relief efforts. Even an amount as small as $10 can give the victims some of the necessities that are even more crucial while they're recovering. Brought to you by the Center for International Disaster Information.
