Katrina Assistance

American Red Cross locations

Financial Assistance Centers are closed. Workers will go to applicants' homes to confirm damage and provide assistance. The American Red Cross requests that all disaster clients who received a check on or before Oct. 7 deposit those funds before Nov. 6. After that date, those checks will no longer be valid. For general information and to leave a contact number so caseworkers can return calls: (866) GET-INFO.

Salvation Army distribution centers

Distribution centers provide disaster distribution of household goods, foods and cleaning supplies, and social services. To receive materials, bring a photo ID and Social Security cards for each family member, proof of residency and FEMA registration numbers.
